WHAT IS A DIGITAL FOOTPRINT?

A digital footprint is…

• “the record of your interactions with the digital world and how the data

that is left behind can be exploited”

CAN IT AFFECT YOU?

Digital footprints can impact you in both positive and negative ways

depending on what your internet activity shows.

NEGATIVE AFFECTS

• If you’re/were cyber-bullying someone, and were applying for a job, you

may be turned down because you don’t work well with people.

• Colleges may reject you if you have negative internet activity.

+ =

POSITIVE AFFECTS

• If you post something on the internet that will reflect on you well, like

artwork, or a paper you wrote, your digital footprint will show positive

side of you.

CAN YOU GET RID OF IT?

• You can delete it, but it will never be gone completely.

• There will always be a trace of it left.

SO…..

• Everything you put on the internet stays on the internet.

• It can affect you in the long run.

• Be careful about how you interact on the internet.

• Think before you post something.
