My Digital Footprint
1.How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities.
Your digital footprint could affect your future negatively or positively. It could take a job from you or give it to you. For example if you want a job you need to go through a job interview, after the interview the employer will most likely search you up to see what type of person you are and if they find bad things/inappropriate things you will not be hired. But if you want a job in for example the filming industry and you have a YouTube channel and you go for an interview and your potential employer searches you up and finds it he/she would know what your capable of.
2.Describe at least 3 ways to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
You should always search yourself up see what you can find, if you find something bad try your best to delete it. Think before you post anything or create an account on anything. Think if it’s worth it and if it could take any future opportunities. Delete any unnecessary accounts. This will make sure nobody can hack them and pretend to be you that way it protects you from somebody else ruining future opportunities.

3.What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students. How would you go about telling them.
I learned that your digital footprints is a lot bigger then you could have known and that it starts before you even born. I would probably tell this to someone by starting the conversation of with “Hey did you know…”.
