My Digital Footprint

Creating a Positive Digital Footprint

I have used a website called Piktochart. I have used this website before when I was in middle school. This website is very easy to use with variety of design options. When I was thinking about what design I should do, I wanted to keep it cool but simple. So, I just created my own without any premade templates. In the notes inside my poster, I have decided to add a simple tip for better protection in the digital world. Having this type of project, it gave me an opportunity to learn new things about digital world. At first I had no clue what digital footprint was and why having positive digital footprint was important. But now with the research, I have learned lots about it.

Personal/Social Competency Reflection

I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences including my future jobs and university applications so I will adjust my actions to create and maintain positive digital footprint. After doing some research about the digital footprint, I am going to think smart and make my choices precisely so it means nothing bad to other people. I am now more cautious when it comes to commenting on my friend’s post. However, if there’s a negative consequence of something, there is always a positive consequence as well. For example, sharing people about my interests and knowing each other well is a proficient way to stay active with other people and it is probably not a negative consequence.

Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include checking my social media before going to bed. Sometimes I am afraid that I will eventually share a post that would be racist against other country people or hurt people’s feelings that are LGBTQ+. So, I double check my post and my story post to see if its appropriate and doesn’t harm people in different ways.

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are staying in contact with my friends and check if they are alive and healthy. I think that it is very important to stay in contact with your online relationships (friends) because I have lost couple of my friends by not chatting for over 2 years. After I have recognized who he was in the public, he wouldn’t recognize me and say “who are you”. It was not the best feeling when it comes to losing a friend. After that happened, I try to stay contact with other people saying “Good Morning” and “Good Night” so that they do not forget about my existence.

My American Revolution Flipbook

Media Fluency Reflection

A. How was the ease of access in building your flipbook, despite this being the free and limited version of the software?

When I first opened the flipsnack website, I was very puzzled because it was my first time actually trying it out. As I used it was very easy to use after a little bit of a practice and watching the video that the student leadership made. Considering this as a free software, I think it’s a four and half star if I had to rate it.

B. Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment?

Yes I was able to apply the skills I have learned in the planning stages in order to use the software appropriately. Applying the skills I learned in the planning stage gave me a lot of advantage to work with the software. I was able to use the software with ease.

C. What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” American Revolution flipbook?

For some characters I have used the notes I’ve taken during the class. For example, George Washington and Boston Tea Party. However, rest of the leaders I chose, I had to do some research to find facts about them. I also tried to avoid using the Wikipedia.

D. Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Did you use another software instead? Explain.

There is one online software that is often and easily used by a lot of people. I personally prefer this software called Powerpoint than flipsnack because Powerpoint has very simple instructions that let us know before we use the software. On the other hand, flipsnack doesn’t have any instructions to guide us to actually use the software which probably gave other people a little difficulties like how I did. However, I tried my best to figure out how to use it either by asking my friends or watching the student leadership video about the flipsnack access and it turned out that it was actually very easy to use.

This is a video based from a PowerPoint with a voice over. Me, Ryan Plican and Daniel Skournik are a group of 3. Our group have created a video explaining about how to use semicolons, as well as including what semicolon is. Just to make the audience fun, our group has decided to add a little bit of a history behind of how semicolon was created.
