Digital Footprint

A digital footprint is the collection of all the traces you leave in electronic environments as you use or move through them. Some is content you actively volunteer—like your Facebook profile. Other material is passive—the cookies a site stores in your browser, the content your district collects about your use of their equipment, etc. All this data can be aggregated to build a profile of you and your behavior.

Tips for Creating a Positive Digital Footprint

  • Always THINK
  • Never post anything that you might find embarrassing later.
  • Be careful with the pictures you post on your public profiles. Remember others will see them and judge you based on their content.
  • Change the privacy settings on your social networking sites so that only your Friends can see your information
  • Do not disclose your personal address, phone number, passwords. Bank card numbers…etc even in private messages. There is always the possibility of somebody hacking into your account and finding them.
  • Do not post things to bully, hurt, blackmail, insult, or afflict any kind of harm on others
  • Always keep in mind that once information has been posted online, it can be almost impossible to remove because of archiving and file sharing. Even though you deactivate your accounts, the information may still be retrieved by others.

Final assignment reflections

My topic was the top drinks in Canada and America. My goal with this topic was to find out this information because I was really curious and I’ve always wondered what was the answer. I used this website called Statista it was a very good website and had lots of information for my graphs. I created my infographic poster of canva.  Canva was a very good website to create poster and slideshows its like PowerPoint. They are both easy to use and what I like about canva is they have templates you can get inspiration from. The process using this sites were very fun and interesting to do. Statista was a easy website to use but I had to scroll to find the best information. Canva was by far the best website I used because I could import picture easy and quickly. These websites helped me understand that technology can help the world. I’ve seen videos on this AI that can just hear someone voice and just made audio messages out of it. It was very scary but using these websites helped me realize that technology can be used for good and the future could be good.
