We are calling on everyone and anyone to participate! Students, student and parent teams, parents, teachers, administrators - anyone who would like to explore and examine their digital Footprint!

//**Case File**// **(What will I learn) :**

The course will offer a K-12 audience an opportunity to examine “My Digital Footprint”. This means learning how to follow your digital footprint through the use of social media and digital tools.

Each week a “guest presenter” will offer a lecture in Blackboard Collaborate.

The guest lecturer will present a topic related to “My Digital Footprint” as well as offer an online activity for the participants to complete during the week.

//**Investigation Techniques**// **?(How will I learn?):**

Tracking, searching, networking and collborating are some of the key skills you will use to learn about Digital Footprints. The guest lecturers will encourage you to consider your digital footrpint by using a variety of social media platforms and digital tools. The goal of this course is to learn about the impact of social media on our lives - together.

//**Undercover or Regular Detectives ? (How will I show you what I am learning?**// **):**

In order to learn about social media at your own pace - we are an inclusive, open environment. We encourage everyone to learn in their own way, at their own pace. The choice on “how” you would like to participate is up to you.
