1. It is the responsibility of school teachers and administrators should be teaching students how to use the internet to their advantage by modeling how they use online resources for networking.
a. How would this work in an academic setting? At what age would students begin to learn how to make and sustain an online profile and network. How would students be evaluated? Would there be personal learning network projects? How would digital skills and knowledge fit in with current curriculum standards?
2. A person should use their real name on the internet but be careful not to disclose personal information online.
3. The technology shift makes students more knowledgeable about technology than adults.
4. C.V. stands for resume online. How are the two equal? What does CV mean?
5. In order to improve your online profile, post as many positive things online as possible because other people could post information online that is negative about you. Everyone has the power to influence what information is available about a person online. There can be two or three other people with your name and it is important that the possibly negative information on their websites does not come up before your positive information does.
