1. an easy way to tell if a site is legitimate or not is to check if they have made any un-professional mistakes, like misspelt words or links that dont work. never use a wiki, blog or any website where people can edit and create there own posts. anyone can lie about anything and you wouldn’t know it. make sure you double check everything you read online with another trusted website to see if its accurate or not.

1. a PLN (personal learning network) is best described as a network of people or organizations working together and sharing information with one another. this can include questions, ideas, references, and their reflections.

2b. the first step is to review any social medias that could benefit you and others, then separate/balance out the differences between work and your personal life. Gather apps and utilities that will help you gain and share information, like bookmarks, search engines and some social medias.after that, expand your knowledge, join new groups and meet new people. one of the most important things is to stay active in your PLN, the more active you are, the more exposed you are to new ideas and knowledge.

Q1. when i searched up my real name, there were no results showing my digital footprint, but when i googled my online username (ITsWAGONFALL2), there was a ton of my stuff that i have made with many different apps. My YouTube, twitch, tik tok and twitter, all of which are my own accounts, can appear to anyone that searches it up. its easy to believe that tons and tons of random people can easily access this public information, as i intended for other people to see my stuff/work.

Q2. most businesses and schools these days look into your past with social media, so it is extremely important to be careful for anything that you post. you have to be 100% sure that it will not cause harm or anger to anyone that might see it, especially if the account your using is public. your boss could find a photo or video of you being reckless or committing dangerous acts, and choose not to hire you. this is the same thing for schools. Garenteed if you want to get into a highly prestigious school they will check all of your social media, to ensure that you will be a good example of that school.

Q3. Never, Ever post something that someone else tells you not to post, its a massive invasion of privacy and you could end up in the most trouble you’ve ever been in. Make sure that what your posting isn’t racist, sexist or offensive in any way. make sure your passwords and login information is secure, theres nothing worse than waking u[ in the morning and finding out your accounts are hacked and someone is saying things that are not true. another smart way to keep your digital footprint safe is to delete any problems, deleting something isn’t always a garentee that its gone, as someone might have screenshotted it, but it will help in the future so that you dont have to worry about anything.

Q4. although i learnt a lot of this information in middle school, i think i is extremely important for kids to go through a refresher on how to stay safe online, as when your in high school your exposed to so much more on the internet. i think a good way of passing on information to younger students would be to give them certain situations where they have to; find the issue, solve the issue, and learn how to prevent it from happening again.
