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.

Social Responsibility

Critical Thinking

Creative Thinking

In Leadership 11, I worked with teachers and students to contribute to the community and make a difference. This was an excellent example of social responsibility because I took action voluntarily to support my environment and improve someone’s day in my community.

I have grown the most in my social responsibility competency because I have taken initiative without reward.

Next, I will focus on developing my social responsibility competency by contributing to my environment and ecosystem to create a better place for me and others.

Project: Leadership volunteer oppurtunities.

In Math 10 foundations and pre-calculus, I worked on various math tests in which I received above 95% marks, this is an example of my critical thinking skills because I demonstrated that I could use logic to evaluate evidence and develop and understanding in addition to a conclusion.

I have grown the most in my Critical Thinking competency because I can adjust my thinking to make judgments and interpretations.

Next, I will focus on developing my Critical Thinking competency by asking more questions and getting help to become more efficient in my abilities.

Project: Math 10 Unit test/Midterm

In Science 10, I was tasked with presenting an inquiry project. In this project, I came up with the idea of a machine that generated oxygen on mars using its native resources. This activity is a notable example of my creative thinking since I demonstrated my abilities to develop innovative ideas in creative ways and discover interesting solutions to make my ideas function.

I have grown the most in my Creative Thinking competency because I have exercised my abilities to “think outside of the box” and try new things.

Next, I will focus on developing my Creative Thinking competency by attempting more challenges to test my abilities of thinking creatively to solve a problem.

Project: Inquiry Project Science.
