into your schools?• Who will be involved in the process? (planning, implementation,
celebrating)• How will you get buy in from your educators and staff?• How will you hold your teachers accountable for teaching the
lessons?• How will you measure success? What will indicate that the goal has
been reached?• What obstacles do you foresee in implementation?• How will you overcome these obstacles?

Scope and Sequence
Lesson Example:Trillion Dollar Footprint
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/lesson/trillion-dollar-footprint-6-8
ASK: Who helped to shape Linda’s and Jason’s digital footprints?
ASK: Can you tell what a person is really like offline based on what you find
online?
Extension Activity:
Have students design paper footprints that contain the kind of information they would want to appear in their digital footprint 10 years from now. Have students fill out the My Digital Footprint Student Handout. The information they put in the handout could consist of stories about their success in online newspapers, a popular sports blog that they write, or photos of them running for a high governmental position.
