Social/personal competency
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including getting a good job or career, or for getting with a bank to get a credit card so they know ur a stable person and will actually pay it off. So I adjust my actions so I can build trust with companies and workplaces.
by thinking about what I post and say online before I post or say it, I make a positive difference to my peers by having a good reputation about what I post and say and being kind to others.
my online support network (school teams) is helpful to me because when im away for a a day or something it can help by showing me exactly what we did that day and what I need to do to catch up
