Digital footprints are traces left by your activity on the Web. Learn about passive/active footprints, how "Internet Archive" provides a historical snapshot of sites, explore components of a successful footprint, how schools can assist students in the development of a positive digital representation. Take control of your online presence.
What does it mean NOT to have a digital footprint in these cases?

So, what is that digital footprint everyone keeps talking about? Digital footprints are traces left by someone’s activity in a digital environment. Learn about passive and active "Digital Footprints" and the size of your online presence as it relates to the number of individuals you are interacting with.
We have to accept we live in a world where information is becoming increasingly interlinked. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remove content from the Web. Discover how the "Internet Archive and "Way Back Machine" provides a historical snapshot of a site in seconds.
Every day you create a data trail, as information is being digitized and easily searchable. What does it mean when a potential employer, college recruiter or client "Googles" your name or a students name. What does it mean NOT to have a digital footprint. What does it say about you, if you do not have a blog, a twitter account, or other social network identities?
Take control of your online presence and understand that the information you put out on the Web may seem insignificant today, but will it be insignificant tomorrow, or in five years when you need to apply for college or seek new employment. Are you just leaving more junk for the next generation to clean up.. Get the answers to these questions and much more when you attend the session.
Discover how to proactively assist students to understand that their digital footprint is more than Facebook and what Google returns on a search. We will explore the significance of a digital footprint, what the components of a successful footprint are and how schools can assist students in the development of a positive digital representation of themselves.

Discover and explore some practical examples for managing your online footprint and build a case for implementing these ideas into the classroom.
