<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: left;">You can think of these digital footprints as the trail of your activity online: the information you access, the details you share, the games you play, the groups with whom you interact with.

<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: justify;"> Ready or not, you need to make decisions now that will affect you far into the future... including when you apply for college or for a job! Employers are using the Internet to locate information about people they are thinking of hiring. They search social networking sites (such as FaceBook and MySpace), look at photos and video sharing to see if you have posted something appropriate, blogs and personal web sites. This is the footprint we are talking about, and you can't just erase or throw it away. ||
