Let's talk about something that is very important. Your Digital Footprint. Every time you go to a website or go onto social media you leave behind a digital footprint. A digital footprint is data that you leave behind when you go to a website or post something on social media. It can be linked to you. Have you ever been to Instagram. What about Myspace for you older people? I'm sure that almost everyone has posted something on social media. If you posted a picture of everyone at bob's barbecue party that was on Sunday, you have left a digital footprint. If you have ever gone on to a website that has used cookies then you have left behind a digital footprint. It is really important that you manage your digital footprint. You don't want bad things to catch up to you. Try to avoid sites that are not secure and make sure to check a sites security and legitimacy before giving out your credit card information. People could literally track for doing almost anything on the internet. You may not be able to delete or not make a digital footprint, but you can manage it. Now let's het back to what I have been up to. As you can see from my WordArt that I have created, I have been to several Websites. I don't post personal information no matter where I go. I don't mind posting pictures because it is not private. I created this WordArt using WordArt.com.

It was hard to think of some careers, but other than that this assignment was a breeze. I looked up some common jobs and thought of some skills that make those careers what they are today. Anytime I need to complete a chart or a comparison I could use Mind Meister to do them.

My last assignment was to write an essay that was about identity theft. The essay was 1 page long and it talked about identity theft and what identity theft was. It also talked about how to protect yourself. If you don't want to read the whole essay, I will give you a quick rundown. Identity theft affect people all over the world. Here in the U.S it happens often. Around 9 million people have their identity stolen a year. Now, what is identity theft? Identity theft is when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission to sell your information or to take your money. Make sure you destroy all personal documents after use and to never click links that you are unsure of. These could lead you to unsafe web pages that install malware onto your computer. Never go to unsafe websites. You should also keep your computer updated to protect your computer from viruses. If your identity gets stolen you should freeze all of your bank accounts and cards.
