3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:10.367
(indistinct chatter)

4
00:00:10.367 --> 00:00:13.000
(school bell ringing)

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.601
Good morning, today's lesson is
called "College Bound,"

6
00:00:15.601 --> 00:00:16.868
which is perfect for our class

7
00:00:16.868 --> 00:00:19.300
because as an AVID 12
elective class,

8
00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:21.467
that's what we've been doing
for the last four years

9
00:00:21.467 --> 00:00:23.634
is we've been preparing you
for college.

10
00:00:23.634 --> 00:00:24.734
My name is Linda Bettencourt,

11
00:00:24.734 --> 00:00:26.934
and I'm an AVID 12
elective teacher

12
00:00:26.934 --> 00:00:28.601
at Cosumnes Oaks High School.

13
00:00:28.601 --> 00:00:32.734
AVID stands for "advancement
via individual determination."

14
00:00:32.734 --> 00:00:35.167
It's a class of students
that are college bound

15
00:00:35.167 --> 00:00:39.901
with a focus on making sure
that they are college ready.

16
00:00:39.901 --> 00:00:42.934
So let's start out
with brainstorming

17
00:00:42.934 --> 00:00:44.734
some of the things
that you've done,

18
00:00:44.734 --> 00:00:46.601
and we've been working on
for the last four years

19
00:00:46.601 --> 00:00:48.567
to get you ready for college.

20
00:00:48.567 --> 00:00:50.667
So what are some of the things
that you guys have done?

21
00:00:50.667 --> 00:00:53.334
- SAT prep?
- SAT prep, perfect.

22
00:00:53.334 --> 00:00:55.334
- Taking AP classes?
- AP classes.

23
00:00:55.334 --> 00:00:56.801
- Sports.
- Sports.

24
00:00:56.801 --> 00:01:00.300
So you've said most of the
things that I have listed here,

25
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:05.067
but what I notice
is that nobody listed

26
00:01:05.067 --> 00:01:07.334
that we have spent time
managing our digital footprint.

27
00:01:07.334 --> 00:01:09.834
Did that even cross your mind?

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?

50
00:02:06.167 --> 00:02:08.667
Who would like to share
who they're going to be

51
00:02:08.667 --> 00:02:10.267
either now or in five years?

52
00:02:10.267 --> 00:02:11.634
Oscar.

53
00:02:11.634 --> 00:02:15.601
Oscar, a park ranger
for any national park,

54
00:02:15.601 --> 00:02:18.667
Michigan State alumni wrestler.

55
00:02:18.667 --> 00:02:21.868
I heard colleges,
I heard careers,

56
00:02:21.868 --> 00:02:25.033
I heard contributions
to society.

57
00:02:25.033 --> 00:02:28.000
Those are the things that
we would want people to look up

58
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.400
and see in our headlines
down the road in five years.

59
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.601
So our activity is going to be
this-- you are going to be

60
00:02:35.601 --> 00:02:37.934
a college admissions officer.

61
00:02:37.934 --> 00:02:40.634
And there are two high school
seniors, Marcus and Tommy,

62
00:02:40.634 --> 00:02:42.701
and they have applied.

63
00:02:42.701 --> 00:02:46.434
Their grades are similar,
their accolades are similar.

64
00:02:46.434 --> 00:02:52.567
So as a admissions officer,
it's your job to read about them

65
00:02:52.567 --> 00:02:54.901
and then to make a decision
as to which one

66
00:02:54.901 --> 00:02:56.734
is actually going
to get accepted.

67
00:02:56.734 --> 00:03:01.033
I feel like this article focused
more on Tommy than this one.

68
00:03:01.033 --> 00:03:03.567
You know, like this one
focuses more on the...

69
00:03:03.567 --> 00:03:05.167
It like it catches
your eye more.

70
00:03:05.167 --> 00:03:07.300
- Oh, anyone can see Tommy's,

71
00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.834
but only Marcus's friends
can see his.

72
00:03:09.834 --> 00:03:12.000
BETTENCOURT: Make sure
you're ready to discuss

73
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.701
at the Socratic seminar,

74
00:03:14.701 --> 00:03:16.067
which we're going to be
moving to right now.

75
00:03:16.067 --> 00:03:18.000
Just a reminder
that in the Socratic seminar,

76
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.434
that we listen to everybody,
we don't interrupt,

77
00:03:20.434 --> 00:03:23.367
you do not cut somebody off.

78
00:03:23.367 --> 00:03:25.434
You'll have an opportunity
to respond to something

79
00:03:25.434 --> 00:03:26.868
that somebody else has said,

80
00:03:26.868 --> 00:03:29.033
but we let them finish
their statement first.

81
00:03:29.033 --> 00:03:31.567
Our group,
after much discussion,

82
00:03:31.567 --> 00:03:36.400
we decided for Marcus
to be let in because we thought

83
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.734
he was more passionate
about what he does,

84
00:03:38.734 --> 00:03:41.467
and like he kind of
lets his voice be heard.

85
00:03:41.467 --> 00:03:42.767
BETTENCOURT: Alexis?

86
00:03:42.767 --> 00:03:44.467
ALEXIS: Okay, so my group
chose Tommy

87
00:03:44.467 --> 00:03:49.968
because, well, he started his
own non-profit organization,

88
00:03:49.968 --> 00:03:52.701
but, like, what really got us
is 'cause when he was little

89
00:03:52.701 --> 00:03:56.634
and it says that he was selling
lemonade with fruit chunks in it

90
00:03:56.634 --> 00:03:58.234
at the neighborhood art fair.

91
00:03:58.234 --> 00:04:01.634
So I kind of feel like
he was thinking about others.

92
00:04:01.634 --> 00:04:03.968
Is there any wrong answer
or right answer?

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?

124
00:05:18.934 --> 00:05:19.934
ALL: Yes.

125
00:05:19.934 --> 00:05:20.968
Are we going to college?
ALL: Yes!

126
00:05:20.968 --> 00:05:22.267
Every single one of us?
ALL: Yes.

127
00:05:22.267 --> 00:05:23.267
That's right.

128
00:05:23.267 --> 00:05:24.300
Okay.

129
00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:28.300
# #

130
00:05:48.300 --> 00:05:52.300
# #
