My Digital Footprint

Nov 29 2009

Published by Dan Palmarin at 2:08 pm under ECMP Assignments

After google searching my name, my top results were mainly my Facebook page, a couple Internet Archive uploads, and my blog. Looking a bit further, I found some records of some academic awards I’ve won and some of my badminton results from last year (I didn’t expect to find those at all). My digital footprint ranges to some websites as well, such as slideshare and youtube. On both sites I have some uploads as well as a variety of comments.

I guess I’m pretty content with what my digital footprint looks like as of now. There’s nothing that I’m ashamed of or embarrassed over, which is obviously a good thing. To improve on it, I plan on having my own teaching website and blog, which will house a lot of my teaching resources as well as many of my students’ work. I may even decide on creating a blog before I become a teacher in hopes of it being reviewed when I have job interviews and so forth. Overall, my digital footprint isn’t too big, but I have a lot of time to work on it. Hopefully, it will eventually reflect my talents and goals.

Actually Dan, the results from sports events are commonly posted onto websites just as the SHSAA or your own regional website just to showcase students and their achievements. That’s why your parents have to sign that publication permission letter you get at the beginning of the year. I thought I would just let you know that even if you already do.

Well Dan looks like your set. I think it’ll be cool that you have that website. I didn’t even think of making something like that beforehand. I suppose if I ever work up the courage to make something like that, or have the patience, I’ll need your help! Also, I know this doesn’t have anything to do with this post but I just saw your visitors thing on your page. Think you can show me how to do that sometime? Unless I already have it, but I’m pretty sure I don’t. Lol. You’re my go-to guy

Thanks Shayla! Yeah it’s pretty easy to put on. Just click on “click to get” at the bottom of that map, then click “widgets” on the site, and copy the code that lies below which widget you want to get. Then go to your blog admin -> widgets -> add text widget -> past the code below -> save, and that’s it!
