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

My digital footprint can affect my future opportunities by having an unflattering effect on my future manager and, therefore, lower my chances of getting my desired job. My digital footprint can also affect me when I apply for a new school because anyone can find all sorts of information on me. My digital footprint could ruin my future relationships with others.

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

To keep my digital footprint appropriate and safe, I can filter and control what I post online on any platform. I can also keep a list of accounts to always remember them and using a password keeper to keep my accounts safe. Lastly, I can be vigilant about privacy settings on social media platforms and protect my private information online.

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

I learned that everyone has a digital footprint and anyone can find loads of information on them through a simple google search. I also learned that everything I send and post is public so I should be careful what I do online. I would tell other students that they should be careful about everything they do online because all their posts and information can be made public. I would explain to my peers that they can keep their digital footprint clean by thinking twice before they post or send anything. I would be sure to advise them to check their preferred social media platform’s terms and conditions. Lastly, I would notify my classmates that it is important to keep your digital footprint clean and appropriate because it can affect many of their future opportunities, for example, their future job applications.
