Answer Key

Who can see your digital footprint

Section A: Quick Questions

B — Friends, strangers and companies can all see it

A — Many people can see it, not just the ones I meant to share with

A — Look at what you have posted and shared

A — The company that made the app

B — A future school or employer

Section B: Match the Pairs

audience = "wider audience" → The many people who can see your footprint, not just the people you meant to share with

post.visibleTo = "Public" → Anyone can see this post, including strangers you have never met

Companies and apps can see what you do online and may keep that data → app.collect(myActivity)

Future schools and employers may look at posts you made years ago → employer.view(oldPosts)

post.visibleTo = "Friends only" # but the post is public → Thinking only friends can see it. A public post can be seen by strangers, companies and others, so check who can really see it.

futureEmployer.canSee = False → Believing future schools and employers can never see your footprint. They might see old posts, so think before you share.

Section C: Definitions

wider audience — The many people who can see your digital footprint, such as friends, strangers, companies and later schools and employers, not just the people you meant to share with.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

audience = [friends, family, strangers]

audience = [friends, companies, strangers]

later = [schools, employers]

IF setting = public THEN anyone = TRUE

IF viewers > intended THEN wider = TRUE

Section E: Spot the Error

B — The word public is text, so it needs quotation marks. Without them the program thinks public is a variable that does not exist. It should be setting ← "public".

D — Strangers were added to the audience on line 3, so the wider audience is not just friends. The message should say many people can see the post.

B — The list was named audience on line 1. Line 2 uses audiences, which does not exist. The loop should be FOR EACH viewer IN audience DO.

B — An IF needs to compare values, so it uses = and not the assignment arrow ←. It should be IF visibility = "public" THEN.

C — The item being added comes first, then TO, then the list. Companies and apps can see your footprint too, so it should be ADD "companies" TO viewers.
