1) How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.

Digital footprints can help people know more about you, such as knowing if you are appropriate or not, and how helpful you are to the community. This can come handy when people are deciding to deny or accept your request for a job like a teacher, or when you request to attend to a certain school such as university, collage, or some high schools. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have a digital footprint, it means that you should be more cautious with what you post. For example, if you post about you and your friends doing inappropriate things, when people look up your digital footprint, they would choose someone who has positive information such as volunteering on their digital footprint over someone who has negative information.

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

The first strategy to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe is to post yourself volunteering (for example) and pictures of your passions or your hobbies. You can keep your digital footprints safe by not posting your personal information, such as your address. Also, if you keep your social media accounts private, you can decide to accept certain people who want to see your account and not much information would be leaked out to the world. Another way to keep your digital foot print is to keep your edublog possitive and post school work and not pictures of you and your friends, since your edublog is not a platform like Instagram or Facebook.

3) What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them? (My device didn’t let me make the question bold)

First, I would ask the other students to look up their full name. Then, I would tell them that it is best to post safe and appropriate stuff on any platform, whether it’s on Instagram or the Edublog since everything we post would be put on our record and not only their post is put on their record, but so are the things your parents post about you such as baby pictures that they’ve posted on Facebook or ultrasounds. Another thing I’d tell other people around me is that in the future when they’re applying for a job or school, people can look you up and see what type of person you are.
