Digital Footprint

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

The digital footprint is a very important currency, but unlike cents or dollars it is a digital currency that stays with you for your entire life. There aren’t many ways to destroy or remove this currency, it could cost your job/education.

check your digital footprint, if the people checking your footprint do not like it they will not hire you. A college will also check your digital footprint if they do not like your digital footprint they will not accept you into their school. You could be fired if your boss finds something bad about your digital footprint.

In conclusion you need to have a appropriate and safe digital footprint.

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

 

good ways of keeping your digital footprint safe and appropriate are hard to find but there are some ways.

One good way to keep your digital footprint safe is simply not to add anything on to your digital footprint, no social media or other things like, edublogs or emails; we all know that this will not happen as i am posting on a edublog right now. To make sure a digital footprint is safe you can always ask your parents/guardians to check over what you post online and if they are okay with it I am sure an employer would be too. Another way to make sure your digital footprint is safe is by asking Google to delete anything you think will hurt your future but you should not count on this too much, as it takes up to 6 months and sometimes Google will say that they can not/will not remove it.

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

 

In this class I learned that protecting your digital footprint is very important, as your digital footprint could cost your future. If I saw a student doing/saying something on the internet that could make them look bad. I would tell them to think about if they really want to send that out for the whole world to see, I would try to tell them in a very polite way to not send it into the internet because when something is on the internet it will not ever be removed.
