Digital Footprints – Navigating the Online World with Responsibility

by | 11 Nov 2025

On 31st October, Grade VI students of Suchitra Academy showcased an engaging PBL presentation on the inquiry, “How does our digital presence shape our real-world identity and responsibilities?” The showcase, themed Digital Footprints – Navigating the Online World, transformed classrooms into vibrant spaces of creativity and reflection.Through thought-provoking role-plays, charts, posters, and awareness drives for Grade V peers, learners explored how every click, post, and comment contributes to one’s digital identity. They emphasized the importance of being safe, respectful, and responsible online, connecting their learning to identity, participation, economy, and technology.
The peer-interaction format encouraged confidence and deeper understanding. As a continuation, students will enhance their mind maps by adding a digital safety component and take a personal pledge — to pause before posting, review privacy settings, and ensure their online behavior mirrors their real-world values.

Kamlesh Bahukhandi is a University of Delhi graduate and holds a diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education & Primary Teachers Training. She has experience of over 20 years as a progressive educator. Before joining Suchitra Academy, she worked at ASN International School (Delhi) and Delhi Public School (Hyderabad). She believes that every child deserves special care and affection to be able to spread their wings to fly and that It is the responsibility of teachers to identify the talents, skills, abilities and interest of the students and nurture them in such a way that each one of them blooms every step of their way. To add to it, she stresses the importance of parents’ involvement in their child’s lives. This is particularly critical because learning doesn’t stops at school, rather it should be seen in the continuum. And it is both the teachers and parents who can make it possible by working as collaborators.
