How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? give at least two examples…

your digital footprint can either affect you in both a positive or a negative way. Your footprint can allow you to have new opportunities in the community by creating useful or positive things to help people out in your community, and allow you to become well know or big for what you have accomplished. Although it can be a very positive thing there are some negatives to your digital footprint. As you grow from a teen to an adult your posts and comments will be looked at and tracked throughout your life, those comments can determine if you will get that job interview you wanted or even just other opportunities in the community.

 

 

Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe?

1. Make sure what you are posting is something that your teachers, parents, friends and even grandparents would think is apropriate and safe to post on the internet.
2. make sure you slow down and take a minute to think before you post. You don’t want to make a decision that will affect you negatively in the future.
3. Make sure what your posting is mainly positive and that it will have a positive change or affect on others, and it can allow people to use your info to help with there daily lives.

 

The main point that I have learned from this digital footprint would be that it is a very complex thing. It has many different parts to it as it can be negative as well as positive. Your digital footprint will always be there throughout your whole life whether you want it to or not, make sure what you are posting is something that makes you feel good about yourself and something you think others will benefit from.
