PLN 15

I commented on the Weblogg-ed blog. I commented on the article Teaching Googleableness (Cont'd) Here is what I commented:

This article goes to show that everyone can be looked up online and should expect that they will be. I think schools and places of employment searching their employees is a good thing. If a teacher like the one is this article does not even care that they display themselves in a negative way online then they do not seem like the most responsible types of people. Many people feel that they are safe online and will not be found out because nobody can see who it is, but the fact of the matter is that anyone can find anything posted online. Posts should be made as if the poster knows that the whole world can and will see everything they put online. People should be cautious of what they put online. If a person wants something to be private they should not post it on the Internet. The Internet is not the place for private matters.

The woman in this post also did not feel as if she did anything wrong. If a person wants to be a professional and be hired by professionals they need to act like professionals all the time. The Internet is no exception. If a person wants to function in the adult world they should act like an adult everywhere not just in person. If a person acts childish and foolish online and does not care of what they have done they do not seem like the trust worthy people. People need to be more careful of what they put online.

Nowlan, in the beginning you would kind of studder over your words and get lost in your ideas. You made great eye contact and spoke loudly and clearly. I got a little confused in what you were trying to say so just have what you are going to say planned out and practice it. Overall good job!

Nowlan, good job on your presentation. Try not to use "um" so much, and don't rely as much on your notes. However, I do the same exact thing and know how hard it is to break the habit. You made great points about your articles, and spoke loud and clear for all of us. Great job.

Nowlan,
Not to shabby for your first time.;) Good job speaking clearly and making eye contact. You had very good ideas to support your PLN's and explained it all very well. GOOD JOB!Answer to your question: I think people should deffinetly be careful and should put the good stuff up, but I don't think we should have people be able to read things about us.
