- How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities?
a) If you post or comment something inappropriate online, it will stay online and follow you, for example, if you apply for schools like university or college they would probably search you up and find what you wrote or posted and wouldn’t want you at their school.
b) Another example is when you apply for a job and they search up your name and something bad that you did in your past shows up, they wouldn’t want to hire you and it would be harder to get a job.
2. Describe three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
1- Make sure that you are writing/commenting or posting something appropriate, nice, and positive.
2- If you wouldn’t want your grandma to see it, don’t post it.
3- Only comment or say something when necessary
3. What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?
I’ve learned to always keep my accounts, files, etc. password protected, to post safe and appropriate things online, if necessary. I also learned that whatever I do online online will stay with me forever and it will be a part of my “Digital Portfolio”.
If i see that somebody is doing something wrong online, I would confront them, face to face, and tell them that what they are doing is wrong and tell them the right way to do something, if I know, and help them out.
