You will learn all about your digital footprint and how it is just as important as your physical footprint.

You will learn the skills to have effective and purposeful communication on your social media accounts by leveraging the power of social media. You will compare and contrast the positives, negatives, and hidden dangers of social media. You will examine how social media connects the world and how you fit into it.
