start

This lesson is teacher-directed, featuring whole-class and small group discussions; it is not meant to be an independent student activity. Activity questions are structured for debate, possibly using a "four corners" debate approach where students move to different areas of the classroom based on their stance and then discuss/debate their reasoning in small groups. The teacher will guide discussions to ensure respectful and critical engagement.

Know Your Digital Footprint

It's growing. Your footprint expands as your information is copied and passed on, making it more searchable and viewable to a large invisible audience.It's not just up to you. When other people—like your friends, companies, or groups you belong to—track, post, or share information about you, it becomes part of your footprint.

Discuss: Will deleting a post stop it from being shared or reposted?

Why is it important to pause before we share?

Even if you delete something you’ve posted — or the post expires — that photo or comment you don’t want people to see anymore could be saved, shared, and live somewhere online — permanently.

What you post could have a bigger “audience” than you think. It’s impossible to completely control who sees your profile, pictures, videos, or texts — even if you use privacy settings or apps that delete your content after it’s viewed or within 24 hours.

What you do online has real-world consequences. The photos, videos, and messages you share affect you, your privacy, your reputation, and those of the people around you — now and in the future. Stop and think before you post.

It is easy to be impulsive and irresponsible with posting social media content. The decisions made with what we post have lasting effects- the internet never forgets.

Introduction

If you see a friend post something false, thoughtless or unsafe, tell them. You may keep your friend out of trouble and avoid embarrassing themselves. If you see something inappropriate online, report it and tell a trusted adult. Most apps and platforms have a way to report if someone’s behavior is threatening or inappropriate.

Don't ignore it! Speak up and report it!

LA-SAFE

Anyone who wishes to report suspicious activity or concerning threats against the public are encouraged to contact the Louisiana State Analytical and Fusion Center (LA-SAFE) at 225-925-4192. The Louisiana State Police also offer an online reporting system through a secure form, which is submitted directly to the appropriate investigators. Anyone can access this form by visiting the LA-SAFE website http://la-safe.org

The police take all threats seriously and have a zero tolerance policy, including false alarms and reports. Under Louisiana Law, individuals found guilty of false or intended threats can face up to 15 years in prison and significant fines. If the FBI gets involved, the number and type of possible consequences increases, including federal charges, monitoring, and the classification as a national security issue.

I'm going to bomb this place. ​I'm bringing a gun to school. You'll see. I'm going to shoot up the school tomorrow. I know where you live. I'm coming over with my gun. If you don't give me $100, I'll hurt you. I'm going to lock everyone in here and not let them leave until I get what I want. I'm going to find you after class and make you regret what you did.

Only accept genuine real friends as your friends/followers Don't speak to strangers online - you never know who they really are
