How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities.
Your digital footprint can affect how people see you when you’re trying to get a job, they could search you up and basically know all about you. If you posted something when you were younger such as you drinking or smoking, new jobs can look at that and form an opinion around it. They can also look you up and find positive stuff such as helping the homeless or helping clean up the ocean and they might want to hire you even more.
Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
First you could make sure you don’t post anything bad like you at parties, second you could make your Facebook or Instagram private so only people that you let follow you can see your posts, third you could make an anonymous email for extra safety.
What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students?
I learned that it is really easy to find out a lot about someone just by looking up their name or looking at their Instagram so you should make sure all your social media is private and safe. You should never post anything with drinking or your friends drinking because it could really affect your life in the future. Just be safe, aware, and smart about what you post to the internet.
