1. Your digital footprint is basically an archive of anything and everything you have ever posted on the internet. Anything that has your name, any accounts that you have, anything you've ever posted on Instagram or posted on your story, that's in your footprint. When you apply for jobs, they look at your digital footprint. Don't think having a private account can stop them from finding anything either, some companies have access to all your social media accounts. You can still express yourself obviously, just don't post anything outrageously dumb.
2. Digital citizenship is when you use a device to do things related to anything social or political. If you regularly use the internet for things such as Instagram or Snapchat or even just looking at the news, you're a digital citizen. With this Citizenship there is also responsibility involved. Digital responsibility is basically just making sure you utilize technology in an appropriate manner. Examples of inappropriate behavior would be saying something that could be considered offensive, posting things containing illegal substances, or participating in anything that could be a crime.
