Newsflash: I am not interesting! Not in the sense that I'd be a popular result on Google anyway! I retraced my exact steps for the initial vanity post and - even though we've been assigned things that may have produced some results for others - mine remained EXACTLY the same. Well - one search turned up an image a bit earlier....but besides that? Nada. Zilch. Nothing different from before.
I actually think that having a minimal presence like this is a GOOD thing in education. I feel like it means that I've nailed down my parameters in a way that any person doing a random search for something inflammatory is NOT going to find it. My profiles on the different platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) are all private enough that you have to go through ME to get to them. (Unless you're skilled in the art of hacking - and then, more power to you. I'm STILL very uninteresting - posting only things that I would be ok with my parents reading/seeing) I also feel that - since the tools I played around with spawned no extra results for me - these tools would be perfectly ok as far as privacy goes for students. Of course, they would need to make sure they followed the protocols and had parental permission, but they would ultimately be ok IF they monitored the content they were using/posting.
It was a little bit of a shock that I didn't have different results from 6 weeks ago - especially since we've basically been online the entire time. However, I'm perfectly happy to have a nondescript presence on the internet....I'm not trying to be an influencer or a YouTube mogul. I'm happy just being boring ME.
