Creating a Positive Digital Footprint
The infographic above describes what a digital footprint is, how it works, and how to prevent negative effects including losing your career because of something you shared on social media. I’ve added few pointers on how to make the most of social media and expand one’s digital footprint. Canva is a program that can be used to create a digital poster among other things.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
- I work to create and sustain online connections in a variety of ways, including deleting accounts that I no longer use and remaining involved both online and in my community. To avoid a sour online reputation, I still maintain a professional online presence.
2. Giving a time limit is one of my preferred strategies for keeping a safe, balanced online presence. For instance, I have up to three timers set in the day: one for when I wake up in the morning, one for when I am on my phone/computer, and one for when I sleep. It is important to understand when you must turn off your phone and it is difficult to turn off if you are on for an extended period of time.
3. I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as having multiple social media apps and having a healthy environmental digital space. These influenced my choice of hobbies such as sports, cooking and reading because I saw it on social media almost everyday.
