Connect, Connect, Connect

Don't hide your digital footprint from others, be brave, stand up tall and be proud of what you have to share on the web.

My personal goal is to one day be at the TOP of a Google search.

Digital Footprint

http://careerrocketeer.com/2011/07/is-your-digital-footprint-squashing-your-reputation.html

I think of my digital footprint as promotional advertising. My key promotional tools are:● personal logo● own URL● an image of myself● standard self description

The best thing about my exploration of connecting the web with education is that

it is a never ending journey. I will continue to connect with other educators and

explore web tools for as far as the road will take me...
