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

My digital footprint might affect my future opportunities by my first impression on how people see me,  how I look, act and my personality. For example if I apply to a job that is long hours and need my full attention all the time and if my digital footprint exemplifies  that I am always with friends and very social all the time they might put that against me and I may not receive the job I wanted. Another example of how my digital footprint might affect my future opportunities is that if I want to play on a future sports team or a job that is Monday to Friday and my digital foot print exemplifies that I love to travel and I am always on the go the team or job may not be sure if I am going to be committed. I think that it is very important to realize how much your digital footprint can affect your future opportunities.

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

Three strategies that I can use to keep my digital footprint safe is to:

1.  I need to be able to trust who ever takes a video or photo of me and I know that they will be responsible with it.
2. I can frequently search up my name to see what my digital footprint looks like and how other people see me on social media.
3. I will be very carful on what I post and if I post a photo or video of other people on social media, I need there permission and to make sure they are ok with it. I will make sure that I am conscious and have a confidence in the photo.

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

Some information that I learned that I could pass onto others is that to frequently search yourself up to see what other peoples first impression is of you. If you are ok with what comes ok that’s great but if you aren’t you need to have a conversation with that person who posted it or just be more mindful of photos and video’s being shared next time.
