1. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.
Your digital footprint could affect your future opportunities in many ways especially with employment, universities, and sports teams. Your digital footprint could affect your these opportunities if you have a good digital footprint or bad. If you have a good digital footprint employers, teachers, coach’s etc. could see all of the amazing things you have done and pick you over someone else. If you have a bad digital footprint, they could see all of the not-so-good things you have done and not want to pick you.
2. Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
One strategy to keep your digital footprint safe is to keep secure passwords on all of your social media pages, blogs etc. Another way to keep your footprint safe is to not let others post bad things about you and if they do ask them to take the post down or block them (do what you can to not let them). The best strategy to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe, is to not post anything that needs to be hidden and just don’t do anything stupid online.
3. What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?
I learned that keeping a positive digital footprint can help you not only in getting a job, but also getting into universities and onto sports teams. I also learned that not having a digital footprint is not as bad as having a negative one but its still better to have one so that employers or teachers can look at your footprint to see what you have done. I will pass on my information by telling my friends and family and telling them to tell their friends. Hopefully that way more people will know about their digital footprint and how it can help their future.
