Digital footprints and online reputation are the focus of this Grade 5 Computer Science worksheet for a digital citizenship lesson. Students work with the ideas of digital footprint, online presence, online traces, and the way choices made online can influence a person's reputation over time. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

What students practise

The activities ask students to define and explain key terms, identify information that can leave a trace online, describe why some online information may be difficult to remove, and explain how online choices can contribute to a positive or negative reputation. These skills help students connect what they do online with the lasting record those choices may create.

Varied ways to show understanding

Students meet the topic through multiple-choice questions, true-or-false items, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. This mix gives learners opportunities to recall vocabulary, interpret information, connect ideas, and explain their thinking in different ways. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

What the teacher receives

• Student worksheet focused on digital footprint, online presence, online traces, choices, and reputation.
• Separate Teacher Guide PDF with learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

From vocabulary to online choices

The lesson content moves beyond naming terms by asking students to connect them. Learners consider what kinds of information can leave a trace, why that information may be difficult to remove, and how choices made online can gradually build a positive or negative digital reputation. This progression keeps the focus on the relationships between online presence, lasting traces, and reputation.

Flexible classroom use

Use the worksheet during a Grade 5 digital citizenship lesson after introducing the core vocabulary, as guided class practice, as independent follow-up work, or as a review of how online actions can leave lasting traces. The reading passage, labeled diagram, and written-response tasks also provide natural starting points for classroom discussion about the effects of online choices.

This resource is useful when you want students to move from definitions toward explanation and application. They connect digital footprint and online presence with the broader idea of online reputation and consider how that reputation can change over time. The Teacher Guide provides additional support for presenting the lesson, discussing the concepts, and addressing common mistakes.
