My Digital Footprint

The digital footprint is very important. I learned that you have to watch what you’re doing or you can be in big trouble. Every single thing is recorded so no matter how hard you try, you will always have proof for anything. Anything deleted, posted, saved, and copied will be available if needed. Your personal digital footprint is a very easy way for access if you made a bad mistake, and it makes you cautious of what you do. If teachers look and see that you have done something wrong, and you don’t admit it, then your digital footprint is there. Also, you will be in very much trouble. So when you are doing something on a computer, be very careful of what you are doing on it. This is what I learned from this unit on my own personal digital footprint.

From what I learned of my digital footprint, I will apply to not do anything harmful, rude, or inappropriate on the computer. I would do things I would be supposed to be doing, instead of doing other activities, like playing online games. When on a computer, I will be kind and not do anything that would have an effect on other people. Since I will do things I am told to do, I will most definitely not cyberbully people. If I were to ever do that, I would get in big trouble, so it is better for me to avoid that. I will not reject what this taught me because I could get in danger if I do anything bad. Avoiding your digital footprint and not caring about what you do is not a good thing. You need to watch out for what you are up to. This is what I will apply what I learned to my digital footprint. 

I can be kind on social media by commenting something nice on someone’s post. I could do what is right and not be rude to anyone. If I did, then that would make the person who posted that feel bad, and change their view of themselves. It is important to be kind because we want people to have stronger confidence. No cyberbullying should be tolerated on social media. Being a cyberbully means that you don’t care about what others think, and you also don’t care about other people’s feelings. I can prevent this from happening by boosting up the posters confidence and telling them to not listen to the hate comments. Usually they are just jealous and feel bad about themselves. This shows how I will be kind to people online and use my digital footprint carefully.
