What will your digital footprint look like upon graduating from high school? It may seem like it's a long time away, but if you are going to continue maintaining a positive digital footprint, why not begin envisioning your digital life ahead of time? To wrap up our unit on digital footprints, you are tasked with the following:

In this Google Slides deck, create a digital vision board of what you desire your digital footprint to look like upon your high school graduation day.

• Of note, "A vision board is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. [A vision board allows you to] display images that represent whatever you want to be, do or have in your life" (Make a Vision Board, 2018). In this case, your overall goal is to be a positive digital citizen. What you need to decide is what that will look like for you.

In addition to creating your vision board, you will write a credo that will guide your actions in helping you maintain the positive digital citizenship that you envision. A credo is "a statement of the beliefs or aims which guide someone's actions" (Oxford Dictionary). The credo should be visibly included within your digital vision board.

• The credo should be brief, yet powerful. It should be something that you carry with you on a daily basis (either written down or kept digitally on your phone) as a reminder to keep you on track. My digital citizenship credo is as follows: I will treat all people with respect. I will always be empathetic rather than reactive online. I will post and share positivity and limit my time using social media. Lastly, my actions and footprint online will inspire others.

Reminders:

• Make sure you properly cite any content you use that was created by anyone other than you.

Questions to consider when creating your digital vision board:

• What do I want people finding online about me?
• What accomplishments do I hope to achieve?
• What reputation do I want to uphold?
• How do I want to be perceived by others?
• What will I be proud to share with others publicly?

Here are a couple of traditional vision boards for your reference. Although, feel free to search the internet for some more inspiration!
