Creating a Positive Digital Footprint
Personal/social competency reflection. By Jett Locke
- I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences. I understand that what I say and do online may affect my ability to find a job.
- Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy online presence include asking my parents for help. I’m very aware and excepting of the fact that due to my young age, I do not quite fully understand the world around me online and in the real world.
- Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are by regularly talking with my friends. I make sure not to share any personal details unless I can trust that friend with such information.
- Young people like me can often say things they don’t mean or fully understand and that can leave a footprint that may not be favorable but could be used against you later in life.
- On-line predators could discover your age and try to use that against you to do things that you normally wouldn’t do so protecting your personal information is very important.
- You should be very protective of sharing any personal images as someone could pretend to be you and do things that would damage your reputation in the real world.
- I maintain a low profile by using alias accounts that cannot be linked to me.(usernames that have no link to me) My YouTube channel uses an alias.
