Sample explanation for students about how this activity develops their digital literacies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Do Not Track’ is a personalized documentary series about privacy and the web economy. If you share data with us, we will show you what the web knows about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This documentary series will explore how information about you is collected and used. Every two weeks, we will release a personalized episode that explores a different aspect of how the modern web is increasingly a space where our movements, our speech and our identities are recorded and tracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to explore what this means to you, your family and your friends. From our mobile phones to social networks, personalized advertising to big data, each episode will have a different focus, a different voice and a different look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do they have in common? While you watch, they will use the methods and tools trackers use to track you. We want you to not only understand but experience what tracking means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to help you understand the exchange of value when you volunteer information online. We want you to know when it\u2019s happening without your permission. We want you to be in control, and we want to pique your curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During each episode of Do Not Track, you\u2019ll be asked to volunteer some data about yourself. The more data you give, the more personalized your episode will be, and the more we\u2019ll be able to include you in an ongoing conversation.
