personal/social competency reflection

I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, so I always make sure to be kind online. I rarely comment on videos, and that’s when I’m tagging a friend or leaving a positive comment on their post. I do this because I recognize that anything I say online stays there forever. Just because I deleted it, that doesn’t mean someone didn’t take a screenshot. and even if they did its all stored on the cloud, deleted or not.

By leaving nice and supportive comments on my friends posts online, I make a positive difference to my peers.

Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include not being on the same app for longer then 2 hours and to not get caught up in online drama.
