About Alex Wills
I have worked for years trying to better understand people and their lives. I have volunteered in both Americorps and Peace Corps and have worked in a number of non-profit organizations and school systems.
I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a masters degree in sociology. For the past several years I have worked as an ethnographer, which means I have traveled the U.S. and the world to spend time with people and learn about their lives so that companies can learn more about the people who buy their products. I have been lucky enough to make a living learning about the world around me.
Thank you for having me.

Digital Footprint
![Page 10: April27 dyc](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/589d63ee1a28abd91d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Digital footprint as a cornerstone
![Page 11: April27 dyc](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/589d63ee1a28abd91d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Digital footprint = Online Reputation
• Content posted by you, about you• Can be posted by you or someone else• Includes pictures, posts, videos, documents
and more• Largely permanent
![Page 12: April27 dyc](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/589d63ee1a28abd91d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Consider this:
• Largely indifference or negligence, not malice
• Consequences, what consequences?
• The adolescent brain (Nurture Shock)

Consider this:
![Page 14: April27 dyc](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/589d63ee1a28abd91d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Creating a positive digital footprint:

Creating a positive digital footprint:
Periodically “review” yourself• Have you “Googled”/“Binged” yourself lately?• What do you see? What’s the “message”?– Don’t think about just the literal words, but think
about the overall meaning they convey– Analogy: Think about going to a store and seeing a
display of merchandise – what words, images and arrangements do you see?
![Page 16: April27 dyc](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/589d63ee1a28abd91d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Creating a positive digital footprint:
Periodically “review” yourself• Pretend you are someone else looking at your
comments, posts, photos, etc. What do they say about you?– Examples: Mean, two-faced, innocent, bashful,
sporty, musical, excited, loves to travel, etc?– Your message can be positive and negative at the
same time– Don’t rely on keyboard courage

Creating a positive digital footprint:
Think before you click• Cognitive control: “But it isn’t just about managing
information; it’s also part of the process of squelching frustration and anger, and stifling an inappropriate or impulsive response.” (Nurture Shock, page 171)
• Don’t be an impulse junky!
![Page 19: April27 dyc](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/589d63ee1a28abd91d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Creating a positive digital footprint:
Think before you click• Anyone can copy and paste• Anyone can forward• Anyone can ‘quote’ you, correctly or
incorrectly

Understanding the whole story

The Unhealthy Friend
Makes you feel bad about yourself
Always makes decisions for you when you’re together
Threatens not to be your friend when you don’t do what she wants
Embarrasses you in public
Gets jealous when you spend time with others
Tells your secrets to others
Doesn’t listen to your ideas
Gives you the silent treatment
Fights a lot without trying to solve problems
Tries to control what you do, say or wear

and comes up with a strategy to deal with it• Parents listen, then offer their solutions after
each group presents• What are the policies around bullying at your
school?

Just some things to think about
