How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.
My digital footprint may affect my future in many ways. Digital footprints are forever, meaning if I made a bad decision and posted something I shouldn’t have any future employers of mine would be able to find it. this would affect things no matter if I posted something 5 years ago or 12 years in the future the posts would still be there. Another thing it may affect is people getting your information. If you post things a lot or put your credit card online hackers and others can use that information against you perhaps even making you look bad.
Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
One good strategy for staying safe would be to never share your personal information online such as your phone number or address. Another strategy would be to THINK before you post anything. THINK is an acronym standing for: Is what you want to post true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind. if you keep to this logic you can stay safe and appropriate. One other strategy would be to use you being online nicely. Support others around you and never bully anyone.
If you could go back in time, is there anything that you would do differently online? Think of what advice you would pass on to your younger self or other students.
If I could go back in time to change anything I don’t think I would need to. I wasn’t on social media as a small child and by the time I was, it was already drilled into my brain how to be safe and careful on the internet. If I had to tell myself one thing it would be to stay yourself and don’t let anyone change that.
