I always rather knew that you could search people- my naive` thinking was more about those people that had wrote something spectacular or made the news. I decided to follow the course recommendation on searching for yourself. I first started with just my full maiden name and got 516,000 hits. I had to narrow this down a bit, so I added in my hometown and got 777,000 hits… I found one that struck my interest right on the first page, my high school that I attended. I had to check this out and spent a bit too much time there. Next, I tried my first married name and got 158,000 hits of course just a few were actually about me. To my amazement there was quite a bit of information open to the public. There was even a page about my Radiographic Technology license…. The last name I searched for myself was my new married name of less than a year; safe to say I did not show up here, even though there were 44,000 hits.
Another part of the assignment was to create a Web page of “About Me” I have never created a web page for a classroom page or a page for myself. I decided to create this page using Google. My page can be found at http://www.google.com/profiles/lipkas1.
I am still working and making modifications on it. As I am sure I will always be updating this page.
Chapter 3 pages 185 – 186 written by Shelly, G.B., Gunter, G.A., & Gunter, R.E. (2010). Integrating technology and digital media in the classroom (6th ed.). Boston, MA: Course Technology gives some good information and tips on how to create a good Web page.
