Schools worldwide are embracing digital literacy as an important subject. Having digital competence is necessary to properly use these technologies. The document also discusses the importance of using strong passwords and logging out of accounts for e-safety. It notes that a digital footprint is the traces a person leaves behind in a digital environment, and that a larger digital footprint means greater risk if accounts are hacked.

7. •By using such simple and obvious passwords you’re
putting in jeopardy your account(s).
• If you have a big digital footprint the danger is much
higher since there are more people aware of the existence
of your account.
•The act of not logging out also influences your e-safety. If
you forget to do this while using a public computer the
chances are that your account is going to be hacked.

8. •Digital footprint: all the traces a person leaves behind
about herself in a digital environment.
•Your digital footprint, no matter how small, is always very
hard to erase.
•The more accounts you have the bigger your digital
footprint is.

10. To use digital tools and technologies properly it is necessary to
know how to be safe while using them. This is e-safety. Most
sites on the Internet have security methods to protect your
privacy as well as modern anti-virus systems. But sometimes
this isn’t enough. Most people think a relatively simple
password will stop every hacker or malware out there. But they
soon find out that is not the case. According to recent studies
the number of accounts hacked that used Adobe encryption
were approximately 150 million!
