I have tried my best to avoid much being posted on the internet about myself. This is something that is hard to do when you are hooked into the social media sites and use the internet for so much now.
I googled my name and found that there really isn't much about me online. I have something from facebook, minitime, and bestbuddies. There are some pictures from facebook that are easily seen, but other than that there isn't much. Minitime is one of the traveling apps I tried using, but then deleted so when you click on the link you don't get to see anything come up.
I don't really have a negative digital footprint, but I think there are ways to make it positive instead of nonexistent. One thing that I could do is probably make sure that my blogs are being published and seen by more than just those I share it with. I am not someone who likes to make things available to just anyone and tend to make everything as private as I can. This includes facebook.
I also want to get into doing presentations. I will be doing one at school this week and I am ready to see how that goes. I could then take those presentations and write about them on a blog and let others know what they can do with the information I shared.
Digital footprints may be important, but I also think it is more important to make sure that people know that negative footprints are not great to have. With getting employment now a days many employers will look up information on the internet. If there is negative information found online they may be less likely to hire someone. This is something that I try to help my students understand about what they are posting on social media sites.
