My Digital Footprint?
First off, Digital footprint is something you do on the internet. Such as data connection left by a digital environment. to It can be determine within on the internet. It can be positive which is a very good thing to have because in the future it can attract other people with what you do on the internet. Also, having a negative digital footprint isn't a very good thing to have. In fact, having a negative digital footprint is something you wanna change. Sadly once you do something on the internet or post something its forever there for million and millions of people to view. So, its important to always have a second look on what you do on social media. Something you post on the internet can affect you. How so? Well lets say you apply for a job but your boss found something on the internet about you that he didn't like. That small post or picture just ruined the chance of you having that job. Therefore, watch out with the stuff you do on the internet it can be viewed by many people. Such as, colleges, parents, teachers, and police officers
Social Media I Use
Twitter impacts me with what i tweet or re tweet. Believe it or not but also my fellow friends who i follow. Yes, people i follow can affect me. How you might ask? Well people like to view your friend list and if they see anyone that inappropriate then they might hated it and reject you from having the job you wanted.
Blogger
I used Blogger so i can post about my 20% project I did with my friends. It was fun describing what I did everyday with my project with my friends and telling everyone about it on the web about my experience with paper airplanes and how it was so much fun. When I use blogger then it states that I love to write and tell people about my experience with something.
I use LinkedIn so i can look for business associations or for people can recommend me to them. LinkedIn is a professional social media network. Which professional people are looking for jobs or are waiting to be recruited to the the work force.

Most important thing I've learned this semester about maintaining a positive Digital Footprint?
The important thing i learned this semester about maintaining a positive Digital Footprint is that whatever i do on the internet it can be seen by everyone. No matter who they are everyone can see. It will affect me someway. Maybe not now but later on in life. I've been told many stories about people with what they did and hope they can go back and change that. Now i know what to do with my digital footprint i want to make a positive impact on others. Show others what I do.
