Helping you Learn, Create, and Share on your device in smart and clever ways.
Empower learners who have been sharing on their blog to reconnect with their digital footprint and their responsibility to create and nurture a positive online presence they and their whānau, can be proud of. Consider how you can harness existing blog posts (class and individual) to connect learners with the elements of creating a Smart Footprint.
Our learners have a rich history of sharing online ... we don't need to make stuff up!

How will you engage your learners?
Learners individual blogs have been updated for the new year
You are confident your learners have engaged with previous learning and have had the opportunity to connect with what it means to create a positive digital footprint.
Are there any elements you need to revisit?
Consider taking time to support your learners to audit their blog and create an analysis to identify next steps or any changes.
See an example here from Robyn Anderson @ Panmure Bridge School
The purpose of our blogs is to share our learning - how do you want to represent yourself as a learner from your school online?
Reviewing and updating your online profile demonstrates you are taking responsibility for keeping your digital footprint up-to-date.
At this stage you may want to use quality examples of blog profiles from other blogs that you or your learners have identified.
Another option is to select and explore online profiles of people that maybe familiar to your learners. This provides opportunities to consider assumptions we can make about people based on their digital footprint.

Learners take time to scan the names and profile pictures without viewing the online profile.
Ask - do you recognise any of these people?
Without viewing their profiles share with a buddy:
what do you already know about any of these people?
how do you know this information?
Explore the profile of the people you and your buddy discussed. How accurate was the information you both shared?
Explore one of the profiles you do not recognise. Share with your buddy information you have discovered about the person from their online profile.
Select two profiles, one who you recognise and one you do not recognise. Using the information from their online profiles create and share a brief description of your impression of this person - their personality, characteristics, values, qualities.
