This document discusses digital footprints and eportfolios. A digital footprint is the trace of information someone leaves online through their online activities and digital content. It can include social media posts, comments, photos/videos uploaded, and interactions with others. One's digital footprint is important because it supplements their offline identity and can be viewed by potential employers. The document also provides tips for managing one's digital footprint and checking what information appears online. It then discusses how eportfolios can help showcase one's qualifications and experience as a language teacher through curricula vitae, teaching samples, and evidence of professional development.
