Free Digital Footprint Word Search Puzzles (Printable PDFs + Answer Keys)

Everything you do online leaves a TRAIL, and the first of these two printable word searches lists what goes into it: POSTS, COMMENTS, PHOTOS, LIKES and SHARES, SEARCHES and your BROWSINGHISTORY, COOKIES, LOCATION data, TAGS, your PROFILE and USERNAME. The point for a class discussion is the word PERMANENT: a deleted post may already be saved somewhere else.

The second sheet is about protecting yourself and your REPUTATION: PRIVACY SETTINGS, a strong PASSWORD, asking CONSENT before posting a friend, avoiding OVERSHARING PERSONALINFO, knowing a SCREENSHOT can make a PRIVATE message PUBLIC, and remembering that COLLEGES and EMPLOYERS look people up. BLOCK, REPORT and THINKFIRST round it off. Both include an answer key on page two. The word list runs easy-to-medium and suits students from about 9 up. More in the technology word searches, including the digital citizenship word searches.
