Digital Footprint Assignment

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

A negative digital footprint can affect you in many ways, for example when you are applying for a job. most employers do not want any illegal or harmful content traced to their employees. It can also affect you when you apply for a college or a sports team in similar ways.

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

You can T.H.I.N.K before you post to avoid posting and harmful posts that you might regret. Having a private social media account can also help in some circumstances. Oversharing is almost always the cause of the most misunderstanding online. so if you don’t overshare this can help your digital footprint.

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?

Thier would be nothing that I would change myself but I feel like some of my friends might benefit from not sharing so much information on their Instagram and Snapchat stories.
