INTRODUCTION:
Students will search for their “digital footprint,” or publicly available information tied to them on the web, on popular social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. Students discuss what it means to be professional and then change their privacy settings on their social networks to reflect their wishes.
OBJECTIVES:
You are about to apply for a position as a social media intern at a local radio station. Because of the Internet-savvy nature of the job, the you are fairly sure the station manager will do an online search for you. The station manager has not asked for the your social media accounts or passwords (even though employers can in some states), but he may still be able to find information on the you by doing a search of your on a few common sites.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Open a web browser and make sure you are signed out of your personal account on all social media sites (this will ensure that you have the same view as an employer who is trying to view your profile).
2. Using the worksheet as a guide, go to the sites listed and do a search for yourself using your first and last name. You can also use commonly available information, like the city you live in or your school name, to narrow down the search. Examples for each site are shown below: HERE IS THE WORKSHEET- THIS IS ASSIGNMENT 1: digital_footprint_-_assignment_sheet.docx -
