Most of you use social networking sites: mySpace, facebook, ning, etc. While mySpace users have abused the site’s freedom and given it a bad name, many people continue to use it. Facebook is popular with both adults and young people.
College professors teach real classes at secondlife; professionals use linkedin.com, twitter and ning.
This week I want you to think about what your online persona tells about you.
- Google your name. (HINT - Put your first and last names in quotes.)
- Add a comment with the following information:
- What did you find about yourself?
- What do you think other people think about you, based upon what you (or others) have posted on the world wide web?
If you haven’t joined mySpace, facebook, or a similar network, and you haven’t been in The Logan Banner or some other public online resource, you might not find anything about yourself. If that is the case, look up someone in your family or look up your last name.

This week you will survey all the tools Google has made available. Go to google.com and look at their nifty applications. Most people know about google search, YouTube, and gmail, but do you know about Google Notes, Picasa, or Google Page Creator? Many of these free tools from Google make my life MUCH simpler. See how many you can use…
After looking through the list, choose three that you like and think you will use. Add a comment that identifies your three and a description of them. DO NOT COPY and PASTE! Check for spelling errors and other mistakes in your comment before you click ’submit comment’. Remember, your comments won’t go live until Monday morning, the deadline for having this assignment finished.

This is the last full week of the semester. If you’re concerned about your grade, you may make-up any assignment you missed including the tech assignments here. To get credit for comments, send me a screenshot of your comment to my email address. Save the screenshot capture as a .bmp or .jpg file, then send it to me as an attachment to either of my email addresses.
If you don’t know how to capture a screenshot or attach a file to an email message use Google. Search capture+screenshot and/or attach+file+email+message and you will get thousands of hits.
