WORD ART.
To be positive and safe on the internet you have to learn these steps first. The first thing you have to do is keep your information private. You need to keep your information to yourself because bad people like, hackers or burglars can take that information and track you down and put in danger or use your information against you to blackmail you. The second thing you can do is use kind words and positivity on the internet. If you try to stay out of trouble and be positive you won’t have to worry about what can be used against you or if your employer is or isn’t going to hire because of you online behaviour. The last thing you can do to be safe while surfing the web or using your social media is to double check all links and/or Wi-Fi networks. When you click a random link and put your email, name or anything personal on there you could get, again, hacked or blackmailed. And for the Wi-Fi network you never know if they could be sure if they want to steal anything information you ever put on your computer or they just want you to have normal wi-fi, but usually the more secure networks have password for security. In the end
PERSON/SOCIAL COMETENCY REFLECTION
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including, if i post about my great family my employer might think that im better for the job, but if i post mean and negative thing they might think im a bad or judgemental person so I can adjust my actions to be better on the internet by posting interesting things, including, quotes or even landscapes.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include, using a secure password, being positive and spreading positive energy instead of posting mean things about others.
By posting less negativity online like, gossip and if I’m mad at my mom, I post and share cool quotes that are inspirational for others so I make a positive difference to my peers
