=About this site=

This site is put together for student's in Mr. Wall's Information Processing 30 class in the spring of 2013, but I hope that others will find it helpful. If you see **Assignments** on the different pages, feel free to do them but please don't email anything to me - I'm busy enough with my own students at school. :-)


 * For my students**, do all the assignments as you read through the different steps and email me the results as mentioned in the assignments.

=Digital Identity=

Have you ever googled yourself? Try it now and take a look at the results.
 * How many of the hits on the first page are of you? Are you the top result?
 * How many are other people show up on the first page?
 * Try an image search - are any of the pictures you?

The New Resumé
Here's what your new resume looks like:



Yep, for better or worse, the stuff you put online is the first impression that many people will have of you. It is important to try as best you can to create and manage the impression that you want to make on potential employers or scholarship granting agencies. If you haven't already done so, try searching for your name on Google and consider the following questions:


 * Do links to information about you show up on the first page of hits?
 * If there are links to you, what kind of information about you do they lead to?

Whether you find information about you on the first page of results or not, your goal is to ensure that there is information about you showing up and that it gives the impression that you want to people to see.

Time to get to work on managing that digital identity!
