Assignment:
Create a blog post titled “Web Presence” that addresses these questions as they apply to your own personal interests and professional life:
- What is your own definition of “web presence?” You should make references to definitions that you find in the readings, but please develop your definition from a personal perspective.
- Let’s define “digital footprint” as those intentional or unintentional traces that you leave behind when you visit web pages, search for information, post on Facebook, tweet, shop online, or engage in similar activities. How does your digital footprint relate to or affect your web presence?
- How should we address the topic of web presence with your student constituency (K-12 or post-secondary students)?
- How do the issues of privacy, intellectual property, and copyright play into an individual’s web presence?
- Can you effectively manage your web presence? Can you maintain both a private and a public web presence? Is it necessary to separate your public and private web presence?
- How might your employer’s interests or policies affect your personal web presence?
Include a works cited section at the end of your post with references to the sources that you quoted in your narrative. This should be presented in APA format. Remember to use the “ED 431” category for your blog post.
