Digital Footprint Assignment

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

Negative:

  • not being able to get a certain jobs, because if it was something like a actor or actress, then your reputation matters a lot meaning if your reputation online is bad, even if your skill is very good they might not hire you. Some jobs other than actors could check your online status.

Positive:

  • can build good reputation online, if you can build good reputation online then you can get trust from people around you because unless you be mean or something, there really isn’t any reasons why they would dislike you.

 

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

you can:

  • think before you post (don’t post anything hurtful or mean)
  • always make your account private ( so no strangers would go into your account)
  • change passwords often (to avoid getting hacked, or taken over)

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?

If I get to go back in time I would tell myself to not trust others when it comes to something to do online. I would tell other students to change their passwords often, think before they post and don’t post anything that could hurt anyone. I have seen many people in the social media hurting each other and breaking their relationships online. I would say to them something like, “If you hurt people or post inappropriate things online, you are not just hurting people, but you are breaking the reputation you have online and if your future boss sees this, somehow you might not get certain jobs, depending on the situation.” and I would also say that to my younger self so that incase people around me won’t believe me when I go back in time, maybe I can convince them before things happen.
