Answer Key

Building a positive digital footprint

Section A: Quick Questions

B — Sharing a poster you made for school and are proud of

A — Ask: would I be happy for my grandparent to see this?

B — Great job on your science project, I love your drawing!

A — It is probably kind, safe and fine for anyone to see

A — Sharing a helpful tip about how to solve a maths problem

Section B: Match the Pairs

positive digital footprint → Kind, safe and useful things you share that you would be happy for anyone to see

grandparent test → Ask yourself: would I be happy for my grandparent to see this post or comment?

Sharing schoolwork you are proud of can build a positive footprint → post("My finished science poster", "class blog")

A kind comment adds something positive to your footprint → comment("Great work! I love your drawing.")

comment("That drawing is terrible!") → This comment is unkind, so it would add a negative mark to your footprint. Say something kind or helpful instead.

post("My home address and phone number") → This shares personal details that are not safe to share, so it does not build a positive footprint. Share safe things like schoolwork instead.

Section C: Definitions

positive digital footprint — Sharing kind, safe and useful things online that you would be happy for anyone to see, like schoolwork you are proud of and kind comments. Try the grandparent test.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

IF kind AND safe THEN
  post(schoolwork)
ENDIF

grandparentTest ← "pass"
IF grandparentTest = "pass" THEN
  share(photo)

comment ← "Great work, well done!"
IF isKind(comment) THEN
  post(comment)

IF proudOf(schoolwork) THEN
  share(schoolwork)
ENDIF

IF NOT kind THEN
  delete(draft)
ENDIF

Section E: Spot the Error

D — A positive footprint needs the post to be kind AND safe. With OR, something that is only one of those could be shared. It should be: IF kind AND safe THEN share.

D — The comment is kind and passes the grandparent test, so it should be posted. Deleting it would throw away a kind comment that builds a positive footprint. It should be: post comment.

C — Sharing schoolwork you are proud of adds to a positive footprint. Hiding it means nothing good is added. It should be: IF proud THEN share work.

C — Kind comments build a positive digital footprint. Mean comments hurt people and add negative things to your footprint. It should be: write a kind comment.

B — The program should only send messages that are kind. Checking for rude would send unkind messages. It should be: IF message is kind THEN.
