28 00:01:09.834 --> 00:01:11.100 Nope. 29 00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:13.467 The challenges that this generation of students 30 00:01:13.467 --> 00:01:16.834 seems to face are that they seem to think 31 00:01:16.834 --> 00:01:18.467 that they're invincible. 32 00:01:18.467 --> 00:01:21.334 That the things that they put on the internet, 33 00:01:21.334 --> 00:01:24.167 or on their Facebook page, or their social media sites, 34 00:01:24.167 --> 00:01:26.701 they think that it's just contained 35 00:01:26.701 --> 00:01:28.801 to that moment in time. 36 00:01:28.801 --> 00:01:32.534 And I think that they haven't quite gotten to the point 37 00:01:32.534 --> 00:01:34.200 where they've thought through 38 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.200 what the long-term consequences or effects are, 39 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.367 and they haven't quite looked forward to the future. 40 00:01:39.367 --> 00:01:41.701 First of all, what is a digital footprint? 41 00:01:41.701 --> 00:01:44.434 It is all of the information about a person 42 00:01:44.434 --> 00:01:46.167 that can be found online. 43 00:01:46.167 --> 00:01:49.667 It's anything that is online that has your name in it 44 00:01:49.667 --> 00:01:52.634 that is associated with you and who you are. 45 00:01:52.634 --> 00:01:55.167 So what I want you to do right now is you're going 46 00:01:55.167 --> 00:01:58.200 to create two results of what you would want 47 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.734 your digital footprint to look like, 48 00:02:00.734 --> 00:02:04.033 or your information if we Googled your name, 49 00:02:04.033 --> 00:02:06.167 what would you want it to say?

93 00:04:03.968 --> 00:04:05.467 ALL: No. 94 00:04:05.467 --> 00:04:10.367 So how does that apply to you applying to college 95 00:04:10.367 --> 00:04:12.567 and your online information? 96 00:04:12.567 --> 00:04:15.000 Whatever you say, sometimes you can't take it back, 97 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.300 and it'll be there. 98 00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:17.367 You can delete it, but it'll still... 99 00:04:17.367 --> 00:04:18.501 you still would have said it, 100 00:04:18.501 --> 00:04:20.767 and people can still see it no matter what. 101 00:04:20.767 --> 00:04:23.567 It kind of does matter what we have on the internet. 102 00:04:23.567 --> 00:04:27.000 It kind of just shows a little insight of our world 103 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.334 of our online world, so it kind of just shows 104 00:04:30.334 --> 00:04:34.501 of a deeper perspective of our personality outside of school. 105 00:04:34.501 --> 00:04:36.067 I think the most interesting part of the lesson 106 00:04:36.067 --> 00:04:38.501 was choosing who's going to go to college. 107 00:04:38.501 --> 00:04:40.267 We spend a lot of time, like, trying to get 108 00:04:40.267 --> 00:04:43.033 those grades right, and the SAT scores, 109 00:04:43.033 --> 00:04:45.334 but we never really think about how one thing 110 00:04:45.334 --> 00:04:48.234 on your social media site can not get you 111 00:04:48.234 --> 00:04:49.934 into the place you wanted to go. 112 00:04:49.934 --> 00:04:53.100 I found it interesting because both people 113 00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:56.100 in our situation that we had, they weren't bad people, 114 00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:59.834 but they didn't necessarily have super good qualities 115 00:04:59.834 --> 00:05:01.067 that just stood out about them. 116 00:05:01.067 --> 00:05:03.834 So it kind of made me think, like, for me, 117 00:05:03.834 --> 00:05:05.834 I don't have anything bad out there, but then again 118 00:05:05.834 --> 00:05:08.601 I don't necessarily have anything that's super good 119 00:05:08.601 --> 00:05:09.968 at the same time. 120 00:05:09.968 --> 00:05:12.734 After today's lesson I'm going to try to be 121 00:05:12.734 --> 00:05:16.567 more of a positive poster, and actually try to find things 122 00:05:16.567 --> 00:05:17.934 to post about. 123 00:05:17.934 --> 00:05:18.934 Are we a team?
