Editor's Notes

  • #4 Stress positive connotation with ‘footprint’ and can’t control it necessarily Vs idea that you CAN control your digital identity
  • #5 In pairs:- Each student Googles their partner Reports back on the types of information that’s available straight away (first website, images, any other people who may appear alongside/instead) what did you find about the person? did anything worry you? Surprise you? Be clear they don’t share with us exactly what they found – just a few insights. Why does it matter? Discussion?
  • #6 Draw it! In Groups – poster activity to highlight why it matters for other students – give out flipcharts & pens 10 minutes
  • #7  Start at 0.50? Stop at 5.32 (or earlier)
  • #8 Why is it important Employer’s are looking; opportunity to widen your network There are some sectors who will google you before the consider you for interview and if you are not there, they may not call you to interview eg. journalism, media, advertising, PR, marketing, public affairs etc. They are active in these arenas and so need you to be confident with social networking – you may well be their target audience. We’ll be looking at you can take advantage of your digital footprint & the pitfalls
  • #9 In basic terms, networking sites primarily deal with connecting you with others. Media sites are mainly involved in allowing you to share photos, videos, music etc. Increasingly blurred lines between social media and social networking. Dedicated profiles on social media sites, the ability to message both publically and privately and the ability to share media on networking sites means shows a convergence between the two, therefore allowing greater cross-over between sites than ever before Personal vs professional and is there a distinction
  • #10 In basic terms, networking sites primarily deal with connecting you with others. Media sites are mainly involved in allowing you to share photos, videos, music etc. Increasingly blurred lines between social media and social networking. Dedicated profiles on social media sites, the ability to message both publically and privately and the ability to share media on networking sites means shows a convergence between the two, therefore allowing greater cross-over between sites than ever before Personal vs professional and is there a distinction. Do you want employers, lecturers, colleagues to see it? Check Social Networking Privacy Settings and if the answer is no then keep it private Images found on http://youropenbook.org/ now closed down and replaced by http://willmoffat.github.io/FacebookSearch/
  • #11 Give out our hand-out of our 10 tips 1) If in doubt don’t post! Or keep it private. If you what to keep a public profile don’t include anything that you might find embarrassing later or wouldn’t want your work colleagues, lecturers or an employer to see. Consider using a different name (e.g a nickname) for your more private social profile. Once information has been posted online it can become almost impossible to remove because of archiving and file sharing. Even if you deactivate your social networking account, the information may still be held in the system and be accessible to others. 2) Clearly separate your personal and professional online profiles. 3) Keep CVs / Profiles up-to-date 4) Don’t use unsuitable email addresses / voicemail message
  • #12 Informal social networking - Twitter – follow employers in your chosen sector (Networking) Example given by PR company who tweet if they need an intern. Some people have 2 accounts, like Facebook, personal profile and public profile Commenting on blog posts and news Develop a profile – Construct your profile carefully – people will judge you on it Don’t make cold contacts – build relationships around common interests and connections Decide where you stand on privacy and on the boundaries between personal and professional Multiple presences on the web: carefully worded summary which says clearly who you are, what you want, connections, recommendations, links to website, twitter profile. Use Linked in to bring it all together If you blog set it to tweet automatically, Link Twitter to Facebook etc CV - Could put links to photographs, music lists, websites etc or add Linked in Profile if it is impressive Signature on email/Business card with links
  • #13 Give out the project hand-outs with list of students in each group & senior contact details. Students have to move into their groups (the seniors can join those that are low on numbers).
  • #15 Give out the DSLR’s, tripods, ipads & podcasting kits (1 of each device for each group). Give out the filming technique hand-out Tips for filming http://sonicsight.com.au/7-mistakes-to-avoid-when-filming/ http://sonicsight.com.au/7-tips-when-filming-interviews/
  • #16 Game for pairs. One person interviews the other on their specialist subject, which should be ridiculous, like “nonsense studies” or “underpants prophesy”. Interviewer gets three questions, then wraps up. We demo this with one of the senior ambassadors acting as the interviewer. Expert profiles are already created to be given out. Chance for students to relax & try out the equipment & interviewing.
