I did not find anything about me while searching for my name on google or the other site, however, there were many people that might be confused as me, but i dont think I will run into problems because of that. I think I am lucky because i have a boring name that has multiple people, so i wont have any embarrising pictures come up because of it.
The only thing i have changed since apply for colleges is my facebook page i got rid of any pictures that show me drinking because I dont want my students know that I drink and I want to be a good example for my students.
I dont agree that teachers should be held to some unrealistic standard, everyone has faults and most people have dont something that does not meet the standards of society. However, I realize that this is being naive and we have to be role models for our students and weather we like it or not we are going to be held to higher standards that most of the population.
The most interesting part about the reading was the student who shared to much with his peers in the getting to know you section of his class. By putting up pictures that are considered inapropriate in society, he was judged by that picture and by the action of showing that to others. I think its going to be difficult for some people not to share many things about themselves.
I think i will make sure that my facebook profile is set to private so people cant look up information on it, and I will make sure that anything like is also private. Overall, I will just make sure what im tagged in, and what information is online thats about me.
I struggle with the drinking thing, we are adults and it is legal, but I also understand that we don't want kids to think it is OK for them. We just have to be careful with what gets posted!
