All info. you post online becomes your
digital footprint . . .


SEARCHED

COPIED

SHARED

BROADCAST

And it lasts FOREVER!
Let’s Play! Million Dollar Footprint

Today you’re all producers for “Trillion Dollar Footprint,” a
popular TV show that tours the country looking for teens to
compete in a nationwide talent show.
You’re looking for a new host
for the show.


Based on personal statements from several applicants, you
have narrowed the candidates to two: Linda and Jason.

The executive producer has
hired a private investigator (PI)
to dig up whatever he or she
can about the candidates
online.

The PI has created a profile of
both of the final candidates
with the most important online
documents he could find.

He has passed along these
profiles to you.
Based on these profiles, the executive producer
wants you to choose which candidate should
host the show.

You should be very careful how you choose.

Your candidate will be seen by millions of
teens, so you should make sure that she or he,
in particular:
 1)
works well with others, and
 2)
is honest.

Linda’s profile

Jason’s profile

Linda’s MyBook

Jason’s MyBook page

Linda’s Blog

Jason’s Twister account

Linda’s Instapic
Find evidence from these profiles that tells us which person we might
select that works well with others and is honest.
What Did You Decide?
Which one is honest? Which one will
work well with others?
What about . . .?
 The
comment under Linda’s InstaPic:
And what did you think of Jason after
you found out . . .

He lied about being in a band

About his relationship status

About where he was born.

Hmmm.
Be careful about making assumptions
 From
online information.
And be careful about what you post.
Based on their online information . . .

Producers of the Trillion Dollar
Footprint have decided to not
select either Linda or Jason.

While this may seem unfair – it is
the REALITY of today.

Be PROACTIVE about controlling
your digital footprint!
So were Linda & Jason solely
responsible for the digital footprint?
Can you really tell what a person is
like offline from the online information?
