My personal plan for ensuring a positive digital footprint.

"The Louisiana Bicentennial Commission asked students to design a promotional plan for a Louisiana tourist attraction and use emerging technologies and social media to promote it. They could not use traditional forms of advertising."

This is my plan for a positive digital footprint.
