Personal/Social Competency Reflexion
One way the youth can be positive online is by setting up their privacy settings to make sure they don’t make any negative posts by accident and make them public. Another way you can continue to be a good person online is to always think about your future employer and make sure you don’t say anything offensive online so that they don’t find it and decide not to hire you.
More people online everyday keep forgetting that anything you put onto the internet is permanent, regardless if you deleted it. It’s not only your future bosses that you need to worry about but it’s also your friends and family that might come across your posts and they could think differently about you.
Another issue about posting on social media is if you get frustrated at someone or you get really emotional and you let your anger get the best of you and need to speak out online and maybe say something you really shouldn’t have said but its too late and you now forever have that one thing you said on the internet. Digital footprint, less known as digital shadow is anything you do on the internet, that could be visiting a website, writing an email, posting a video or comment online.
There are many harmful things on the internets as well, there are a many bad people that might say some very negative things about you either publicly or privately that can hurt you if you engage with them. If you are experiencing this sort of bullying you should just hit the block button or report them on the platform you are both using, or if it is very serious you should collect evidence and contact the police.
There are many bad things about being online but there can also be a few benefits to going onto social media such as connecting with friends and learning many new things. You may also discover new things that you enjoy that you didn’t know you enjoyed like a tv show or a genre of music, You can also learn a new hobby such as guitar or learning a new language.

This year is very different from last year in the sense that we have all of these websites to help us get our work done and become more organized. I love this new change as last year we only had teams and my teachers would rarely post on there, let alone a daily update, I also love the idea behind the website for flex block and we get to book what class we need help in. All of these websites have really helped me and I love that the teacher constantly keep us updated.
