Question 2 (Marks: 20) Digital Literacy
Q.2.1 The solution fluency: To define the problem which is the most difficult part of this process. This is a written statement or "Hypothesis" which involves identifying the problem and planning where to go with it before you start the research. I need to ensure that I have a clear understanding of the problem and planning as well as the direction that I will be taking before I start my research. The discovery stage is an exploration stage as we will be looking at the problem from different angles. This is a whole minded process where we imagine what the solution will be in the future. This is an envisioning process where we analyse the possible and impossible.
Q.2.2 Yes, everything we do and say online creates a footprint also known as our digital footprint. By having a negative footprint, it can affect ones chances of gaining a place into university. Mistakes aren't as easy to erase as they used to be because so much of our lives are shared online. Most teenagers utilise some form of social media tool that enables them to effectively document their life. While social media has many positive attributes, teens and their parents are often not fully aware of the potential danger.
Parents now have the burden of providing guidance to their teenage child by educating them about how to properly manage their digital footprint as well as the harmful implications it could have on their future in terms of college admissions, employment and overall safety.
