Through relatable examples, students learn how posts, comments, photos and online interactions can contribute to their digital identity and how these actions may be viewed by friends, schools, colleges and future employers. The session encourages students to think critically before they post, share or interact online, highlighting the importance of protecting their privacy, maintaining a positive online reputation and making informed choices about the information they share. It also explores how digital footprints can be managed over time and why responsible online behaviour is an important part of digital citizenship. Ideal for schools and educators, this assembly supports online safety education by helping young people develop a better understanding of their digital identity and empowering them to build a positive and responsible online presence.
