Digital footprint By: Emily West

How will your digital footprint effect your future?

When you try to get a job in the future. They will look at your digital footprint. Whatever you post on the internet they will be able to see. If you try to delete a bad post off the internet it is probably still there. One bad post on the internet can effect your chance of getting a good job.

How can you keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe?

To keep you digital footprint clean, safe, and appropriate you need to:  Think before you post  Keep your online profiles on private  Only post things you would want other people to see  Don’t put your full or real name as your profile name  Don’t put personal information on the internet about you

What information did you learn?

I learned that whatever you post on the internet isn’t private. Even if your account in on private there is still a chance other people who you don’t want seeing your photos can see them. If you post a bad photo or comment something online and try to delete it, it will still always be there.
