NCompass Live - http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Sept. 9. 2015. Your digital footprint is the trail left by all the things you do online, including Facebook accounts, your browsing history, your online subscriptions, any photo galleries and videos you’ve uploaded — essentially, anything on the Internet with your name on it. Digital natives like today’s students rarely think twice about putting their names on things online, so their footprints can be pretty wide. Digital immigrants like adults and seniors learning to use the Internet don't understand what their footprints reveal about them. Join Denise Harders, Co-Director, Central Plains Library System, to learn how you can help both groups manage their Digital Footprints.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Digital Footprints can be very revealing and contain information collected and stored by other people—not necessarily your friends.
- Blogs or Websites—If you contribute to these under your own name or easily traceable username. Personal Information Posted—Breakups, addresses, contact information, Colleges attended, Parties, Illnesses, Babies born (sometimes photos of the birth) Examples of fairly harmless personal information: your age, gender, how many brothers and sisters you have, your favorite food, your pet’s name Usually stored by the website it was posted on. Can be sold for advertising purposes.
- Active Digital Footprint Contains a lot of personal information but not nearly as much as the Passive Digital Footprint. Corporations store credit and debit card numbers and purchasing histories for long periods of time—think of Amazon. Websites use “cookies” to track users’ browsing histories and general location. Advertisements on the search pages are personalized.
- GPS functions are convenient—They show traffic delays, nearby restaurants, and addresses for events. However they can broadcast you location all the time. Apps fail to work properly without access to the data they want. So even if you don’t want to give them permission, you must if you want to play that game. Purchasing music, books, apps. Think Amazon AGAIN!
- Online Retailers and Webmasters—Internet Browsing History—Want to increase the number of visitors to their page Potential Employers—Employment histories, criminal records and information displayed in social networking sites—Screening job applicants Criminals—Credit card and banking information, phone numbers, addresses, Driver’s License numbers—Stealing identities Insttutions—Analyzing data and searching for patterns called “reality mining”
- It can be difficult, if not impossible, for people to find all the data that has been collected about them, in addition to finding the information that they have voluntarily supplied through social media. Even if they somehow find the data, having it removed is a long and difficult process. AND even if information is removed from active webpages, it still exists in the form of cached pages which are recorded copies of old versions of websites. Removing from cached pages is so difficult it could be called impossible.
- Adults that are New Internet Users and children must be taught to protect their information online. The first thing they must do is select a strong password for each and every account. There are other Password Managers. This one was recommended to me.
- The incidence of Identity Theft is rising. Rule of thumb (Do not give…)
- Earlier I talked about Personal Information that people of all ages reveal on social networking websites. Now I’m going to talk about PRIVATE information. Private information can be used to steal a person’s identity and should only be revealed with caution. Be careful when sending anything personal over the Internet.
- Another component of your digital footprint is your online reputation. In this case, what you tell adults differs from what you tell children.
- Your online presence is being evaluated and is taken into account. In 2013 more than three-quarters of United States-based companies actively researched online information about applicants. Posting negative or inappropriate comments, sharing private information, posting content pertaining to alcohol or drugs or even simply making grammatical mistakes hurt your online reputation.
- If you find things you don’t like when you Google Yourself, remove any personal Live Journals, and blogs from your younger days Remove old email addresses and webpages Look at account settings on social media you continue to use—Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter
- Digital Citizenship is essentially character education for the digital age.
- With initiatives in even the most rural schools that put a laptop or tablet in each student’s hands, Digital Citizenship may be the most important subject taught.
