My Digital Footprint

When I search up my name, all that pops up is my Instagram. I am actually surprised that there isn’t anything else. I don’t use many social media platforms, that may be why.  

An example of something that uses cautious sharing of information that is in my digital footprint is my Instagram. My Instagram is set to private, so that only my followers can see my account. I also make sure that I know everyone that follows me. I don’t post anything that could have a negative impact in my life. I don’t share anything personal like passwords.  

 How might your digital footprint affect your family and friends? 

My digital footprint can allow my family and friends to communicate with me through my social media. They can see how I am doing and check in on me. We can chat and send each other things that we like. We can keep in touch with social media. My digital footprint has a good impact towards my family. 

How might your digital footprint your affect job and career prospects? 

People can see that I am close to my family through my social media. They can see that I take social media seriously and am mature. They can see that I don’t fool around with the internet. All that pops up is my Instagram when I search up my name, so it can’t have a negative impact with my future and career prospects.  

The Northwest Rebellion of 1885

Reflection

I knew that my information was reliable because I used a citation machine and I looked at different cites to see if they had the same information. I chose my medium by looking through the different ones that had timelines. I chose canva because it had the most space for paragraphs and looked the neatest in my opinion. It was geared towards my audience because it’s easy to understand and there is a lot of information. I would refine my project in the furture by finding a timeline templated that has seven spots for paragraphs instead of five, so that I can include all seven paragraphs on one page instead of two pages.

Industrial Revolution Project

Reflection

In my project, my innovation was a sewing machine. I was able to identify problems and their solutions. A problem was that the first models were badly advertised, and were not bought by many people. For the solution I wrote that sewing machines were later better advertised and more and more people started to trust them. Another issue was that in the past they costed as much as a car does today. The solution was that as the years passed, they became more common and became cheaper and cheaper.

I didn’t write my project in a backwards design, because for me starting from the past and leading to the future was easier. I have a large imagination so it was easy doing the future part of the project. I feel that I enjoyed it the most. It’s more difficult doing the past paragraph because you have to search for facts from reliable sites. It can be hard to find some good information and put everything in your own words, so I wanted to finish the hardest part and get it done and over with. I identified problems with sewing machines today. Sewing machines are bulky, heavy, and take up space. I bought of an idea of having sewing machines slender, light, but sturdy for the future.

I am satisfied with the design of my project. It has lots of information, neat, and I included pictures to go with the paragraphs. I have headings for every topic and it looks pretty professional. I put lots of effort into this project and it shows just by looking at it. I am satisfied with my solutions, even though the were very hard to find. It was hard to find any solutions and even just finding problems was hard. All the solutions that I found were very general.

I would refine my project in the future by using more sites. It was difficult to find proper sites that were reliable and were specific for my topics. I found many sites that weren’t trustworthy and I couldn’t use them. I spent lots of time, and even asked others to help me find good, proper sites that had genuine information.
