Digital Footprint Assignment

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

The different things you post online can be seen by many people and will never be gone even if you delete it. You have to be very careful about what you do on the internet because one day you may regret your decisions. If someone was wanting to hire you and they looked you up they may find things you dont want them to find.

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

  • Do not post images of yourself or your location.
  • do not post anything inappropriate on your account.
  • do not post anything offensive towards others.

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 don’t think I would do anything different because I feel that I made smart decisions online. One thing that I would tell myself is not to believe everything you see. So many things are twisted on the internet so unless you know the real story do not assume anything.
