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

your digital footprint can easily effect your future if you post inappropriate content on social media. Prospective employers could be discouraged from hiring if there is embarrassing stuff online. It might prevent you from getting into the school you want.

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

Think before publishing anything online and make sure its appropriate. I can limit the amount of identifying information that I put online. Deliberately create good content online to hide the negative content that might be out there.

3. If you could go back in time, is there anything you would do differently online? Think of what type of advice you would pass on to your younger self or other students. How could you go about explaining it to them?

I would not put my last name on any of my social media accounts. I would be careful not to post anything that wouldn’t make me come off as a bad person or give people the wrong idea of me. You should be very respectful on social media because anyone can see what you post.
