How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities?

Answer:

Your digital footprints affect your opportunities in the future because, places like universities and people like employers could track down all your social media accounts, and comments which could jeopardise your chances on getting a job or getting into the school. Whatever place you are applying to, could see all the comments and photos that you posted in the past and that could decide weather you got that position or not.

Another way your digital footprint can affect your future is, someone can blackmail you and that can affect your work habits therefor, you might not perform or do as well as you would normally do. When you don’t do your best, you might not get that opportunities that you were hoping for and the reason could be from blackmail that you got.

Describe at least 3 strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.

Answer:

First way is to watch what you post and say when you are online. Whatever you are applying to could track down all the comments and post that you have posted in the past even though you deleted them.

Another way to keep your digital footprints safe and appropriate is to not put all your information when a website you are signing up for ask you for it. Another way is to not put anything personal online. Putting something personal online won’t keep your digital footprint safe because anyone could easily find what your personal information.

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

Answer:

I think I would want to show people how I learned to customized my blog to my liking. I would show them by showing my website and explaining to them the steps I took so that they could use that information for their own blogs too.

Another thing I would teach others is, about how before you get into a school or job, the people that are accepting you would look at your digital footprint in the past and that could affect if you got into the school or the job. I would show them a video on YouTube that we watched in class.
