creating a positive and safe digital footprint
paragraph
staying safe on the internet is very important, so many things can happen in a second. Safety online is very important many things could go wrong. On social media platforms people can cyberbully you and yet they wont say it to your face. You should check all your privacy settings and make them private. when you apply for jobs, 50% of employers look for your footprint online to see if you are responsible and many more good qualities. once they see something they might not want to see and you might not want them to see you may not get the job. when people are unsafe online and revel to much about yourself you could be cyberbullied, identity theft, and invasion of privacy. people can be safe on the internet by making all your accounts private and think before you post. Make sure that when you post things you are a where that officals and people important may see them and if they are bad or targeted towards people it may come back to haunt you.

Personal/Social Competency Reflection
I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as this project influenced how im going to make online a better place and how i am going to make my digital footprint positive. i can watch what i put online and i can think about if it s going to cause trouble with others then i wont post. some ways i work to build a strong relationship with people online is not being mean and making fun of others and i can make people feel good about themselves. by making people feel good online i can make a positive impact on my classmates. my classmates will come to school with a more positive attitude.
