Key Terms:
digital footprints - A digital footprint is the data trace or trail left by someone's activity in a digital environment, like the Internet.
digital permanence - All webpages may be archived, which means a copy of the webpage is saved and others can find it and see it, even after you have changed it or taken it down. This means that anything you do online can affect your reputation, not only now but in the future
The Wayback Machine is one site where people can search for archived webpages. Colleges and employers use these Internet Archive services to look at applicants' old social networking pages.
Tips for Students:
Be careful what you post online.
Remember that all of the websites you go on make a note of you being there
These days, what goes up online, often stays online. It may not be where it was initially posted, or in the same format, or it may disappear and resurface somewhere else – even though it’s digital, it can still be permanent. Ensure that what you post won’t get you in trouble or affect the online impression you make.
Great start!
Some suggestions:
Add more information to your facts. Do you know any statistics about digital footprints or how people are affected by them?
Are there any additional tips for students? Maybe give some specific examples of what not to do on social networking websites.
Or explain how schools and colleges can access information personal information when looking at students.
I just think you could add more information to the overall page.
