About Myself

Hello, my name is Danny Jung, I’m a grade 9 student in Heritage Woods Secondary School and I’m from South Korea, but now I live in Port Moody with my mom and sister, but my dad is in South Korea. I have a very busy and exciting life. I like to play basketball and soccer and my hobbies are video gaming and watching YouTube. I play basketball for Tri City basketball team.

My Favorite Video

Best Ankle Breakers by Bone Collector is my favorite YouTube video because he is my role model and I want to be good as him at basketball. Also, he had made me look basketball in different perspective. This video is meaningful to me because this video introduced me into basketball.

My Favorite Quote

My favorite quote is “Falling down is an accident. Staying down is a choice”. This inspired me because even though we make mistakes we can get better at it as we try over and over. For example, I practiced so much time on my drum and I got better at it. Also, this quote is meaningful to me because when I make mistakes I feel like giving up, but as you try harder you get better.

My Favorite Website

My favorite website is Hypebeast.  https://hypebeast.com/ This is my favorite website because it talks about the new trends and fashion brands that I like such as Supreme and A Bathing Ape. I like these brands because they are very unique.

My Favorite Images

 

      

These are my favorite images because I like to play basketball and I like watching basketball. I am a big fan of Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry. Therefore, these pictures are closely related to me and inspire me. Also, I chose these images because playing basketball is my favorite hobby.

Digital Footprint

Q: How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples

1. When you are applying for college, all aspects of an applicant are taken into consideration, and often times this means the applicant’s online digital footprint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  63% of job interviewers decide not to hire an applicant because of something they found on applicant’s digital footprint. This may                     includes silly posts such as drinking or using drugs, swearing,  criminal behavior, or even  an unprofessional screen name.

Q: Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.

1. use privacy settings to keep away strangers and spamming – be extra careful about publicly sharing and personal information
2. use password keeper and change them often to be secured – make sure you choose a good password which does not include your        personal information such as your cellphone number, birth date, and your social insurance number. Also, do not save passwords so  even though you loose your phone no one can get through it
3.  think before you post because if you post it is impossible to delete – make sure you do not write any hate comments, illegal activities,    and photos of your friends without their consent.

 

Q: What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?

 

I learned that our digital footprint is often used to keep information about us, such as nationality, religion or even personal email address. Information is gathered by using cookies, which are small files that websites store on computers after we first visit to website activity. Also, cookies allow us to keep items in a shopping cart, store preferences or login info and make suggestions based on our location or website visits. In addition, digital footprint can be useful, but on the other hand it can also be dangerous.

Everything you post online also goes to your digital footprint. This includes YouTube videos, blogs and videos or pictures shared on social media sites. It’s important to keep in mind that once it’s online, it will be there forever.

Therefore, we should use privacy settings to keep away strangers and spamming, use password keeper to change the password often. Also, think before posting because once we post it, it is impossible to delete.

I would go about posting this information to my social media so I can alert other people and they can also share my post to expand the influence so it warns many people.

Reflection Paragraph

During this assignment, I realized that I have strengths in researching and organizing the data. I enjoyed this experience, because it was very convenient since I could do it any time and anyplace. Also, it was meaningful that I got to share how dangerous digital footprint can be. Sometimes, I found this assignment difficult. For example, when I first got this assignment, I had hard time understanding and building my blog so i could not right down enough information for each question. I think I have improved the ability to detect bias in a source since the assignment was about social media, and I thought a lot of information on social media was not trustworthy and informal. Therefore, I believe that many sources on the internet are biased. Overall, through this assignment, I learned more about myself, family, and culture by writing an autobiography on the blog and how to use social media efficiently and safely for personal footprint which can affect one’s future.
