Digital Footprint

 

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

   I believe that your digital footprint can affect you in so many different ways.  A few examples on how you digital footprint can affect you is let’s say you’re trying to get a job or apply to the university/college,  they will look over your digital footprint and check if there are anything that is worth rejecting you or lowering the chances of hiring or accepting you.

You just graduated high school, you applied to your dream school that gives a good education and can pretty much get you an amazing job, and you even get a call saying that they can’t wait to see next semester.  Until they see your digital footprint, they see a list of very negative behavior, and what happens?  They reject you, all your hopes and dreams crushed because of the wild things you did when you were a kid.

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

  There are countless ways to make your digital footprint appropriate and safe

1)      Never share personal info.

2)      Always read what you’re about to post and make sure it’s appropriate.

3)      Delete any accounts that you don’t use.

4)      Be safe and careful on whom you follow on social media.

5)      Check privacy settings on sites.

 

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

  I’ve learned that we should be careful on social media; we shouldn’t post anything about our lives, what you post can affect yourself and you should think before posting because it can affect you future, hopes and dreams.  I would tell student to think about what they’re doing before they post anything and to google themselves and see if they are satisfied and surely with the outcome.
