Digital Footprint Assignment

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

When trying to get a job in the future your interviewer may check any past social media posts or accounts which can affect your chance of getting the job.

If you meet someone new say in a class and they see something negative about you online, that may jade their opinion of you.

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

Only post things that you will be comfortable having posted in the future, this will prevent you from embarrassment or any sort of trouble.

Always take peoples feelings into consideration, you should never hurt anyone online.

Never post anything illegal or crude in any way.

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 explain to other students that whenever you post anything always get others to check over it to make sure that it is appropriate and will not be embarrassing in the future.
