Part 3: Presentation of Self
Digital Presence
The internet is one of the most powerful tools ever invented. Unlimited knowledge is placed in the hands of any and everyone, and the potential applications of this, for good and for bad, must be considered. It is wise to monitor one's presence on the internet through the various search engines that are available. Some may discover that they have a limited web presence, while others a far-reaching and expansive presence. I prefer to have more of a limited presence, and that is what I discovered through my own search. Many of my "discovered" references are as a result of my participation in this program. Others are a result of some of my work at Chicago Public Schools (CPS). One downside to having a limited web presence is it is difficult for people to reach out to someone with whom they have lost contact. I have recently reconnected with a few of my friends through a video that CPS produced and posted to YouTube. They noticed my name and contacted me using the provided information, and this welcomed surprise was facilitated through the expansion of my web presence. Benefits such as this may persuade me to consider increasing my web presence.
