I read the article Making Kids "Googlable" on the Weblogg-ed blog by Will Richardson which talked about how schools need to teach the students how to make themselves "googlable" or make them have a good online portfolio when google searched or searched  in some other online search. I found this very interesting. Now many business owners and place that are going to hire employees will google search there candidates or use some other searching tool such as Myspace. The article brought up the issue of helping kids get a good portfolio so if they are searched by an employer they will give them a good impression. There are times where I personally would not know if what I was posting online would give a good or bad impression. 

Some teaching needs to be done to educate people on what would give a good impression and what would give a bad impression. I know anything on the internet needs to be posted in a way that the poster would not mind everybody seeing it and realizing that everybody can see it. I do not think many people know what would leave a good impression and what would not leave a good impression to a future employer. The bottom is line is somehow future generations are going to have to be taught this skill to succeed in this age of technology where you can find a plethora of information on someone by searching their name. This skill will be needed for my generation and for generations to come.
