10 Things You Should Know About Your Digital Footprint

12/11/2012

CMS and BMS students. Mr. Holman and I feel that "leaving positive digital footprints worth following" is just as important as the historical content we teach throughout the school year. It is why we painted the phrase on our walls, it is why we have blog buddies and it is why we allow you to maintain your own website & blog throughout the school year. Please click the picture to the left. After you read the article leave a comment. Talk about how the article made you think about YOUR digital footprint. Are you posting work that you want your parents, future colleges and future employers to see? Is there anyway you can improve upon your work and the material you post to the web?

After you read the article and comment on this blog post, please link the article to the homepage of your website and write a brief summary of what the article talks about. You can link the picture, or create a button, or hyperlink text.

This article has really made an influence on me. It is important that I don't leave bad digital footprints because they can affect my future such as when I'm applying colledges or trying to get a job. I also need to make sure not to put to much specific details about myself online because bad things could happen if I do. Overall I need to be a good digital citizen.

The digital footprints that you leave on the internet can effect your life in the future. If you put something online when you are young, when you are trying to find a college, they will see it and you might not get in because of it. You need to make good decisions when you post something on the internet or your future may be affected.

Digital footprints that you leave on the internet can have a big impact on your future. You could put something bad, or good out in the internet and someone may see it and it could make or break your life.

I believe I usually leave good digital footprints, there are probably some things that I have said that arent the best. And this article has taught me the I have to be careful because the things that I say can have a big impact on what happens in the future.

The world of technology has really impacted the world around us. When we think about how much of it is unnecessary, it is mind blowing. A lot of it is sometimes being used in the wrong way. I could never live without technology:)

This article really made me think how I need to be aware of what I do online. I don't want to apply to a colledge and not be accepted because of something I did online that wasn't acceptable. I want to be successful in life and be a good person. Everything you do online stays forever-so be smart.

Casey

This website explains good tips of what not to do on the internet and that what you say can never be deleted. i thought it had the right tips and that your consaqueces are your consaquenses.

Jason

This made me think about what my future employers can and can't see. Also, about what I should and shouldn't put on my website. Another is that I shouldn't put my life story on the internet.

Natasha

12/10/2012 10:35:01 pm

Leaving good digital footprints may not seem important at first but it has an effect on everything you do. It may seem funny or cool at the moment but it’s not. If you don’t show yourself as a responsible person on the internet then people won’t think of you as responsible in the real world. A lot of people believe anything they see on the internet so don’t write anything that isn’t true about you. This article really helped me and made me second guess what I post on my site.

Nate

The article made me think about college choices. If I make a bad decision online, it will decrease my chances of getting into a good college. College determines what job you will get. Without a job, you have no money. Without money, you won't have your life's necessities in order to live.

Jared

12/10/2012 11:03:07 pm

This tells what not to do and the digital footprints lead to go get a new job to go to college and if you make bad choices you might not get that job or go to college

The article has helped me understand more about what I should put on my blog. Although I don't recall blogging about anything wrong or inappropriate on my website I have a seperate page. The page is a gaming blog, but I do make sure that the pictures do not contain disturbing content. Please make a comment on my blog if you ever want me to take anything off of my blog. I will make sure that I will not post anything inapropriate on my blog. I will make a new page for any comments about the subject. Thank you for sharing your opinion about the class' blogs. Thank you for reading.

This article made me relize that one bad thing you say on the internet can stay with you forever. Nothing on the internet can be deleted or go away. Also, it can effect what collage you get into.
They wont take you in if they find something bad that you said or did on the internet.

The article made it so I'm gonna think twice about what to post online, because you never know what is going to happen, or who is gonna see it.

This article made me realize that you have to think everything through because if you say or post something bad, it could ruin your life. Also, it shows how you act so if you put something bad on the website, even if you delete it, that is how people will see you. This includes employers and colleges.

Emily Stern (Sterno)

12/11/2012 01:38:19 am

This article has explained how things posted on the internet can't be erased, and how one small mistake can ruin your future. Anything can be seen by anyone once you post it, so treat what you write as if you were saying it in person. Whatever you write can affect your education by not getting you into college because of a picture or message. Stay smart on the web and you'll stay out of trouble :)

12/11/2012 03:03:30 am

To me this article is saying that anything that you send or even post is there forever and if some one wanted to trace you down by what you wrote they could. For instance, if you are applying for a job, your boss could just look up your name to see if you did anything that was not very smart.

I think the reading was a good thing to remember so that you remember about what your putting on the internet cause anyone can see it and its there to saty because you cant fully delete a file you put on the internet. This problem can get in the way of good jobs and good schools and can ruin a big part of your life and you should treat technoligy with respect

Number one reminded me that things you say a year ago (online) never truly go away.

Number one is really important because what ever you post online stays on line.

Arin M.

I think that number four was interesting because it said that many adults don't know how to make a profile.

Mackenzie D.

12/13/2012 08:55:47 pm

After reading this article I really understand that it is your responsibility to protect yourself online not other peoples. Think, if you just post one piece of personal information on one website you could be unsafe. Things get shared, people see things, and stuff is stored online forever.

Sami link

12/13/2012 08:55:58 pm

#4 surprised me when it said even if you don't leave that many details on a profile, its still you. People can identify you with the littlest details.

Jinle link

12/13/2012 10:31:48 pm

Number one was the most interesting in my opinion. People can look at all my profiles when I apply for college. It means that I have to be extra careful about what I post online now.

Esther

I think that number 8 is important. I you're not nice, it is saved forever.

Jada

12/13/2012 11:02:18 pm

I agree with number 8 because when you delete things it will always be saved and if you say something through a laptop screen and not to the person's face why say anything at all.

Arthur

I think that this article gives a lot of essential information that people need to know. I think that #1 is the most important one, and one of the least well known.

I agree that all 10 things will help you to have a positive digital footprint. You need to be positive, and careful about what you post. You should think first before you post your thoughts. Number 7 I agree with because you need to keep your own information private and not spill out your information to the world. This article has good points. You must understand that the internet is PERMANENT and everyone will see what you post. It is your legacy.

Gabriela

12/16/2012 05:54:31 am

This article helped me understand better the positive and negative impacts of digital footprints. I now feel that when I am online, I am more educated as to what to do and as to what not to do. I know the positive and negative consequences of digital footprints. I learned that if I leave a bad digital footprint, that no matter what I try to do to make it disappear, it is archived forever.

Rachel

12/16/2012 07:55:51 am

From this article, I learned that the Internet isn't always as "anonymous" as it seems. What you say on the Internet, and what you do on the Internet, can impact your life forever. Bad choices that you make on the internet usually result in bad consequences. But another point to take into consideration, is that when you do great things or say great things on the Internet, that can also effect what job you get or what college you get into.Most importantly, I have learned not to be afraid of the Internet, but to essentially think about and take into consideration what actions I take on the Internet.

Ryan

12/16/2012 08:57:59 pm

8. The Golden Rule. Never has this rule applied more than to how you speak to others online. What are you truly accomplishing by saying things behind the veil of a computer screen, that you would never say to someone in person? Treat others, as you would like to be treated. Simply put, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Remember, you can’t truly delete when you SEND.

I just realized what you say to some one online can hurt just as much in person

Kimmy

12/16/2012 10:58:58 pm

If you post something anywhere, anyone can find it and track it down.

Lily S

12/16/2012 11:53:45 pm
