Digital Citizenship: Digital Footprint

May 09, 2017

What exactly is a digital footprint?

A digital footprint is used to describe the trail of information or “footprints” a person leaves in online settings. Any information shared online can possibly live on the world-wide-web forever, even if the user removes the post. It is now a common practice for colleges, coaches, and employers to search social media and the internet for information on potential prospects prior to offering acceptances or making hiring decisions.

For that reason, it is important for all users to set up privacy settings on their devices and social media apps in order to protect themselves from exposure to the "world."
