What kinds of things actually create this online trail when you are playing games or doing schoolwork?

A **digital footprint** is the record of everything you do, search, and share while connected to the internet.

Every time you watch a video, post a drawing in an app, or search for dinosaur facts, you add a new piece to your trail.

If you make a mistake and click the delete button, does that make your trail vanish completely?

Unlike real sand footprints that wash away with the tide, a digital footprint is nearly **permanent**.

Even after you delete a photo or message, other people may have already copied it, saved a screenshot, or the website may have stored a backup copy.

For example, if Maya shares a funny joke in an online game and deletes it two minutes later, her friends may have already seen and saved it.

Because your trail stays online as you grow up, you can make it something you are proud of by always being kind and **responsible**.

How can you make sure your digital trail stays safe and helpful to others?

A simple rule for staying safe online is **Think Before You Post**.

This means pausing to protect **private personal information**—like your full name, home address, phone number, and school name—by never sharing it publicly.

Taking a moment before you share helps keep you safe and builds a positive, helpful digital footprint.

How can you make sure your trail stays safe and positive every time you go online?

A powerful rule to follow is **Think Before You Post**.

Always protect your **private personal information**, including your full name, home address, phone number, and school name.

Taking a moment to pause before sharing keeps you safe and helps you build a helpful, positive footprint.

What is a Digital Footprint? - KS2 Computing & Digital Literacy

When teaching 3rd graders about digital footprints under TEKS 126.8(b)(8)(A), use concrete physical analogies (such as tracking muddy animal prints on white paper or making impressions in modeling clay/wet cement) before transitioning to digital environments. Emphasize empowerment and positive digital citizenship rather than fear; guide students to realize they have the power to craft a kind, creative, and safe footprint through intentional choices.
