1. My Digital Footprint

2. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities
How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.
My digital footprint can have a huge impact on any future opportunities that I have in my life. One example is that it could affect any jobs that I would want to apply for in the future and if I post anything that is inappropriate or bad online, anyone can see it and that might enable my chances of working at a job that I have worked so hard to get into. Another example is that if you are wanting to get into a certain college or university and you post something that isn't positive or appropriate, it could ruin all of your chances and they might not accept you into the school. One more example is that if you post things that you are passionate about online, you could be noticed and people could help you with feedback and tips on making it even better and make your dreams and goals become a reality.

3. Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
There are tons of ways to make sure your digital footprint stays safe and appropriate. One way is making sure that anything you want kept a secret or private, will never be posted online where anyone and everyone can see it. Another way is making sure you know who you are talking to at all times and you don't give anyone online your personal information. One final way is making sure that you don't post anything that could easily offend someone or posting something that is private to someone.

4. What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?
The first thing I would tell them is to always watch what they post online and to never post anything that they might regret in the future. Another thing I would say is to never talk to random strangers online and never give out personal information about yourself, friends or family to anyone even if you do trust them completely. One last thing I would say is to have fun online but always be aware and careful of what you do.
