Digital Footprint Assignment

  1. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities?
  • When applying for a job most job searchers immediately check for your digital footprint, possibly deciding the result.
  • If some one finds something on your footprint you may not want them to see it will definitely change what they think about you, for better or worse.

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

  •  Always THINK before you post (truthful,hurtful,illegal,necessary,kind)
  • Use a antivirus or security service while browsing eg. Norton
  • Remember the things you post never go away even if you think they do

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 tell me to try and post less
  • Nothing goes away
  • Don’t do things just because always have a purpose
