In this activity, participants will explore their online identity (and how that compares to their offline self) and reflect on the various intentions of other users online. Key topics that will be discussed include digital persona and oversharing. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how to interpret the online behaviours of others, as well as how to carefully consider the importance of being aware of their digital footprint.
