how might ur digital footprint affect ur future opportunities? Give at least two example.
Your digital footprint could affect your future jobs and promotions either negatively or positively The employer could go through your instagram, twitter, facebook and see what type of pictures u post and things u say on there. Say for instance u post a photo and/or video influencing bullying, drugs or inappropriate things. If your employer came across these it could very well have a negative impact on ur employment, People use social media to have an insite on how they are as a person.Your digital footprint could have a positive impact on you as well changing how people think of u as a person in a good way . If your on social media you could be repping campaigns to help people in need like the children’s hospital, cancer research ect ect. You could show your employers that your just a regular genuine nice person.
describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
A strategy you could use to keep you safe is making sure that when having a social media account keeping it on a private so only you, your family and close friends can see what your sharing on your profile. Another strategy you could use to keep your account appropriate is to keep in mind your fellow class mates, friends, family are viewing your stuff that you share. So if you were to post a inappropriate photo/video it could change the way they treat you or think of you and could also spread rumours if you give show urself in a wrong way. Another way to keep yourself safe is to never show ur location or school or any personal information if done the wrong people could figure things about you and harm you.
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 could go back into time and do something differently online i would be more cautious of what i say online and post . The advice i would give to my younger self or any one younger than myself is to keep in mind that what you say or do online will affect your future in negative and positive ways. It can change how successful you are and change the way people will view of you. I would also tell them to keep there accounts on private and tell them that anyone in the whole world could view there account if its on a public account and that the things they view are wrong and if you know its wrong dont do watch, view or look into it, it could change the way u view things and act towards people and could lead u into a wrong path in life.
