Why should we care about our digital footprint?

Today we have been finding out about our digital footprint.

We read about how Ollie Robinson’s cricket career has been impacted by his digital footprint. He missed some games and he was fined. His reputation was damaged because his comments offended people. It’s impacted him because everybody knows now, and it’s something people will remember about him for a long time.

We thought about some things that we could do to craft a positive digital footprint for ourselves. We think that it’s important to think carefully about how we respond to people online and making sure we don’t say mean things to people. If other people are in the post or pictures we are sharing, make sure that they are ok with you posting it. Be careful about sharing confidential or private information, even in a private chat.

We would love to hear more suggestions. If you have any, please let us know!

  1. Kia ora, my name is Elyah, from FXT (Foxton Beach School), I find it enjoyable you writ so much compared to the others posts. I also find the topic of digital footprints interesting, and the way Ollie Robinson got fined for his digital footprint, and the fact it’s a good thing to try and keep your digital footprint clean.

    I have also learned about this in my class with one of my teachers, it was a interesting topic, and I hope you found it as interesting as I did. And on that topic, did you even find it interesting? I’d like to hear your personal opinion on this topic.

    Thank you for reading.
