In Will Richardson's Footprints in the Digital Age I completely agree with him, students must be taught to take care and improve their digital footprint. I had not heard of a digital footprint until this year or that people could Google me. I just entered high school where everything matters towards college and I have no idea how to access or improve my digital footprint. I do know that a good GPA makes it better but how do I improve it besides the obvious. Now some kids will know how, and they will be able to make themselves look really good while some students that are not only better students but better people may be left looking inferior. So the world will be left being led by people who are not the best people, gosh some may be misanthropes. So it is very important that teachers and parents teach kids about our digital footprint and to take care of it so nobody ever gets an unfair advantage.
