Q2 Think about the specific "footprints" or

information you leave behind on the sites on your
map (such as what you viewed, typed, or accessed).
If this was the only information someone had about
you, what would they think about you? What
assumptions would they make about your habits &
behaviors?

Q3 Make a list of sites you visit a lot. These might

include social networking sites (Twitter, FaceBook),
gaming sites, shopping sites, learning sites.

Step 2 Add a Visual to your paragraph(s)

Organize your list into categories and write them

onto a visual organizer that describes your digital
footprint, for example, all social networking sites
together, all gaming sites together, etc. You can use http://www.wordle.net/ or Prezi or Pic
Monkey to creat one or more images for your personal digital footprint.
