Title:  How My Digital Footprint Will Affect My Future

Information about your life in a digital footprint becomes public by being copied and passed on so that it can be searched and viewed by a large, invisible audience.  Information in a digital footprint is often permanently online, because it is archived in a variety of ways and passed on by others without your permission.

View the video, Abba's Story.  In your blog post, discuss some of the messages and themes that stand out to you in this video.  What does Abba mean when he says, "I feel like there's nothing there that brings me down?"

Do you think you should judge someone (or be judged) solely based on what you find out about them online?  Why or why not?  Give examples to support your opinion.  You may want to included anecdotes, testimonials, and more, but do not include names of real people if  your example would cause harm. 

 

Information you post today could affect yourself and others in the future -- for better and for worse.  Any online material may affect you as you  apply to college or think about future jobs and opportunities.  Considering that you have the ability to shape your online profile, discuss ways that you could present an image you could be proud of.
