The idea of a professional web presence is something that had actually not crossed my mind until I learned about it in this class. It is interesting to know that I already have an web presence through social media, although I didn't realize its significance. Especially because my only web presence is Facebook, which isn't always positive, let alone professional, I am glad that we took the time in this class to create a positive, professional web presence with Google Sites. In a world where the internet is becoming increasingly important in all aspects of society, it truly is important to have a presence online where potential employers can go to see information about you that you want them to know.
This is going to affect me as a teacher, for a couple of reasons. First of all, before I even enter a classroom my professional web presence will be used to help the school decide whether or not to hire me. Once I am hired, the knowledge of the importance of having a positive image of yourself on the web wil help me educate my students about their own web presences, as well as not putting incriminating information online.
Below is an intersting article that I found online that discussed professional web presences in different forms.
