Digital footprint

   1. What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them? 

I would tell them that everything you put on your page people can find online. I would tell them to make sure that their instagram or twitter etc account is on private so that only people that you approve ca see you posts. I would also tell them that if you have and iPhone Apple keeps a record of where you’ve been. I would tell them to be careful with what you post because it can affect your relationships with others.

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

To keep yourself safe you can use a different name on your social media profiles so that its harder for people to find your profile. Since it’s hard for them to find your profile online it harder for them to find anything bad about you. If you have an instagram account you can make it private and that way you can only let people you know see your posts. if you only let people you know see your picture its less likely for you instagram pictures to be all over the internet.

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

If you have a digital footprint with certain posts that you’re not very proud of, and if your colleges that you’re applying to find them you can lose your scholarship. And it’s the same with a job cause if your trying to get a job your boss would search you up and if they find things that they don’t what to see they won’t hire you. Your digital footprint can also affect your relationship with others cause if on your Instagram you have pictures of you drinking or doing something illegal other people will think your less trustworthy.
