1. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.
- if you post something online that shows you doing something illegal a future collage or employer could see that and not offer you a job/ spot at a post secondary school
- if you have positive things that you’ve posted online you can use that as a way to get a job in the future ie. sharing a website on your resume
2. Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
- think before you post that what you post could only ever be viewed in a positive way.
- wait a few hours from when you make a post to when you put it online, it can never been erased once it’s online so it’s best to take some time to think about it before it goes online
- making sure what you post online doesn’t violate any contracts you’ve singed is very important people have lost jobs and scholarships because the posted something about the job/scholarships
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’ve never actually posted anything online so , no i wouldn’t do anything differently, the only advice i would recommend to someone younger than me is that they wait till there a bit older 12 or 13 till they get social media, personally i didn’t get it till i was 14 and personally i think that was when i was mature enough to understand how best to be safe online.
