Free Download: Digital 'Feather Prints' 

Looking for a fresh way to teach the digital citizenship concept of digital footprints to your primary school students?  

This digital ‘feather prints’ activity is an engaging and easy activity that encourages digital citizenship discussions throughout the school year. 

Digital ‘feather prints’: a fun twist on ‘digital footprints’. 

While footprints can wash away, feathers on a bird are far more permanent. 

Feathers are visible and attached to the bird. They are an important part of what makes a bird who they are... much like children’s online activities are an extension of who they are in real life!
