Assignment 2

section #1

In grade 7 I had made a timeline for my Social Studies on this website ( https://www.sutori.com/) and I had listed my whole life and all the exciting things that had happened within those 12 years. This is a bad and good effect on my digital footprint. The bad effect could be that if people search me up they would be able to see where I’m from, where I lived, my family members, and most of my life. the good effect is that people would know how I was as a kid and see all the opportunities I had as a kid such as meeting the prime minister for helping a sick kid or going on a field trip to Indonesia with my school for a week to have fun, learn life skills, and help needy kids. When I searched up my name on google my Pinterest account came up and it showed things I’m interested in or saved such as nail designs, my clothes preference, songs I like, and my aesthetic this will tell people a lot about myself without even knowing me or meeting me.

When I apply to a school or a job and they research about me or search me up they will see all the things I would have accomplished and if I am a good role model. They can see the type of people I hang out with and see if I am a perfect fit in their criteria. Posting rude, inappropriate, disrespectful stuff will tell them a lot about my behavior and lifestyle.

section #2

How to keep your Digital footprint safe and appropriate?

many times when I am seraching something and go to a new website I always see a “cookies” thing pop up and lets be honest no one ever reads it at least i have not. After seraching what it was about “cookies” is a website that stores all your information in your devices browser directory when we accpet it. ” cookies” has it own benefits and disadvantages. For example, thanks to “cookies” we get the type of advertisements we like such as our instgram feed its mostly whatever we enjoy and like. The disadvantages are that it stores our data everything we search up and this can help hackers, for example if  my laptop got hacked  thanks to “cookies” they would be able to see webisties i most use and may make some changes that would affect me.  ” cookies” could also help a person figure out someone elses location such as there city/ country/ postal code through there.

How can we keep our digital footprint safe? This is how I keep mine safe and appropriate:

  • make your account private and block people who make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe:

               – For Instagram, I have made my account private and only accept requests from people I know or my friends know. Sometimes after accepting a request, a person can still make me uncomfortable, and usually, in that case, I unfollow or block that person. 

  • Off your location and make sure you know the person before talking or snapping them:

                – To keep my Snapchat safe I have switched off my location so that no one can see it. I never add anyone I don’t know and if I am talking to someone I don’t know I make sure I save all the chats because Snapchat does have a feature where after the person opens the unread message it disappears.

  • turn off location for apps you don’t use:

                – I have switched off my location whenever I’m not on any app so it only can tell my location when I’m on that app

  • Have different passwords for every account:

                 – I never keep the same passwords on any social media or account because if someone can guess one account’s password they know all your passwords to everything. never keep the passwords of your animal and birthday because that’s the easiest to guess.

  • Is your post respectful to others ?:

                  -To make sure our digital footprint is appropriate we must know what to post and who all will see it e.g. is it disrespectful to your friends/ culture/ family/school. Would you show this to your grandmother? We must be sure of who we message and talk about.

 

 

#section 3

How would you explain the idea of “digital permanence” to anyone in your spheres of influence: other students, your family members, your teachers, etc.?Why should we care and be aware of “digital permanence?”

digital permanence is basically something you share or post that is going to stay on the internet forever. After we delete a post on Instagram where does it go what if someone screenshotted it or sent it to someone this is what we need to be careful about. When we delete something from the internet it’s not gone forever. This why it is important to know what your posting is it embarrassing or rude. Once you post something there is no way to undo it. You may have cleared your search history and deleted that post and you cant see it anymore but it still is somewhere and may be accessible.

impactful image

i took the photo

My dog had a big impact on my life. I got him in 2017 and I clearly remember that day we were at the mall and we were going back home, and I saw a pet shop and begged my mom that could we please go to the pet store to see the dogs and she agreed. My sister and I were so excited, we walked in and saw 100 cute puppies, but our eyes went straight to a brown dog (only me and my mom’s my sister wanted a pug). My mom never wanted a dog, but she fell in love with him and she knew had to get him. My dad was travelling, and my mom had promised me that when he comes, we would show him the dog and we started deciding names for him. The picture above is a very recent picture, and he looks very old now but when he was a puppy his fur used to be red and brown and was so pretty and he kind of looked like a chocolate, so my mom wanted to name him Cadbury. When my dad came back, he saw the dog and said yes but he dints really care he didn’t want a dog. A few months later my dog and dad were best friends my dad still pretends he doesn’t like him, but we can all see the love and how much he cares about him, that was one of the impacts Cadbury had on us. In February 2019 my dad got a job in Vancouver and we had to move in June 2019 and the biggest problem was that everyone loved Cadbury, he was part of the family and we dint want to him to go to a different family. we did a lot of research and found out a plane that would take dogs internationally and honestly that was the happiest moment in my life that we could bring him. During 2019 June I became vegetarian for him and till now I’m vegetarian. He impacted my life and my family’s that we took him.  

Meaningful Quote

This is an impactful quote because it’s telling the truth. This has actually happened to me before where my classes got switched and none of my friends were in my class and I obviously distanced from them but they never bothered calling me or hanging out with me and it made me realize that they weren’t my real friends and I had to drop them. This year I went into a different school and my friends went to a different school, I absolutely hated the school and has zero friends I definitely thought that they would stop talking to me and I would no longer be friends with them but they continued to message me and we still hangout which makes me feel really good. I know many people and consider most of them my friends but only a few will notice if I distance myself from them.

Favourite youtube clip

 

this was one of my favorite videos as a kid I would come back from school and I would get all the ingredients and try to make the slime and I remember not being able to do them for the first 50 tries and I used to get so mad and used to cry that my slime never worked out. after I finally learned how to make the slime it was the best thing that ever happened to me after frozen yogurt. I would take my slime every day to school and show off that I made slime. During lunch we would all sit on a table and we would all bring our slime and play with it until a few days later when it got all gooey and weird and it would come all over our clothes and hair. this video was my favorite this was the only slime video I watched because all the other ones dint look cute like hers. I would want my slime to look like that and I wanted to be her. she was this sweet person with cute hair and the cutest room how could I not want to be her.I would want my slime to look just like hers and the color and the containers they all had to be the same. Obviously, my math wasn’t the best that’s why it took me over 50  tries to get it right and YES I did waist a lot of money and ingredients
