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.

I enjoy crocheting because crocheting is a really calming and peaceful thing when you’re bored. Crocheting is also used as fashion, like sweaters, cardigans, dresses, and other sorts of items. Even you can crochet many board games, I know board games! You can crochet so many things, whatever your heart contents. Crocheting also strengthens your brain because you’re mesmerized about all the twists, the knots, the turns and everything in between. Even if your upset or feeling sad, you can start crocheting to calm down. Now we’re going to be talking about knitting. Knitting is less exciting because the only thing that you can make with knitting is scarves, sweaters, and other stuff but with crochet you get to make so many projects. Now we’re talking about problem solving with crochet. Even with crocheting if you mess up on a stitch you can just pull the yarn and the stitch would just magically disappear and you can just keep going you can keep unraveling and keep going over and over and over. The thing that i’ve made so far with crocheting is ornaments and right now i’m making a cardigan sweater, and voodoo dolls too! Thats why you should start crocheting!
