Creating a Positive Digital Footprint
I used Canva to create this poster because they have a a lot of options to make your poster and a lot of features that are helpful. This design is short and brief and is supposed to give you a bit of an understanding on how you should protect your Digital Footprint and that you should make sure that you have a positive online persona.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
I know that my digital footprint can cause both positive and negative consequences so I choose to keep my private life off social media and not post about everything I’m doing. So that when I go to get a job I don’t need to worry about my online persona costing me the job because I have nothing bad on there and it’s all positive. It’s not bad if you post but it’s also not good if you are posting everything you are doing especially things you don’t want your parents to see, because if you don’t want your parents to see it that means you probably don’t want your boss to see it either.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include thinking before posting. I don’t usually post Instagram photos or snapchat stories because no need to, but when I do post I make sure it’s not inappropriate and I wouldn’t mind anyone seeing it. And to keep a healthy online presence I choose not to comment on sensitive topics that people are talking about, because I don’t want to offend or hurt anyone.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are by not asking super personal questions, like questions about their families and questions about where exactly they are located. The reason I do this is because I wouldn’t want someone asking me those questions so that most likely means other people don’t want to be asked it either, And you have to think about them differently and not like you grew up with them your whole life. Because at the end of the day you don’t know the person in real life and they shouldn’t know all about your life.
