When I first heard of digital footprints, I can honestly say I did not know what it was. I knew what digital was and what footprints were, but digital footprints, not a clue. When our group decided to work on this podcast using digital footprints, I was excited to find out more about this term they use on the web. Most people do not know what they leave online. What do I mean? I mean that when individuals are on the web, they leave can leave what they have been searching or researching online, some can be good or bad. This term mostly comes from people who leave their personal or work related information on the Internet for others to see and quickly find out. In order to clean up these footprints, people need to watch what they put up on the web, whether it be personal or not.
Our group used garage band to produce this podcast about digital footprints. I am sad to say that I was not able to record this podcast with my group but did other things to help complete this project. I was able to find different sound effects that fit the criteria of this podcast. At first it was difficult for me to find different sounds and music clips because once I found something I liked I was either unable to download it or even use it due to copyright issues.
Once these items were all complete our project podcast seemed ready to go. Our FATP, mind map and flow chart guided us through the assignment from start to finish. I think using a mind map in big assignments like this helps groups or even individuals get a good grip on what the final product is going to look like.
I am grateful that I was in a group with people that worked very hard at every point in this podcast. I am also grateful that I got to be in a group with members that worked with me while I was gone and lead me the information needed to complete this project with them.
