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

In the future, hirers might look at your digital footprint to decide if you are a good choice for the job. A poor digital footprint might result in poor results when you look for a job.

In the future, if you apply for a university, they will search for your digital footprint. If your digital footprint has a bad record, they might consider not offering you a position in the university. Your digital footprint will affect all stages of your life.

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

-Never post anything embarrassing or private online about yourself that could harm your reputation.

-Never post anything that could hurt somebody else. Never respond to offensive posts.

-Always think before you post anything online. Is it appropriate? Does it have a purpose? Is it offensive? If so, do not post it.

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?

Do not post any images of yourself on any public app online. Once it has been posted, it will remain on the internet forever. I would explain how the things you post now could affect your entire career, and you should never post images of you online for inappropriate reasons.
