  • Millennials' lives are public in a way that many older persons find uncomfortable if not dismaying.
  • MySpace reportedly had over 116 million users as of December 2006.
  • Potential employees use the Internet to get the inside scoop on a future boss. But bosses are also getting the scoop on potential employees.

  • According to some reports as many as 50% of employers and 75% of job recruiters concerned about alcohol/drug use, violence, and similar problems check out potential employees on the web.

      So it would be a good idea to have a web prescence then...it just needs to be a good one.
  • Many employers argue that due diligence requires they look up Internet profiles of all job candidates. Researching students is fairly typical among high-tech employers.[5] However, some employers feel the information on social networking sites is of a personal or artistic nature and not appropriate for consideration in determining employment. Would you ask about race, sexual orientation, sexual partners, past relationships, religion, body type, favorite book or movie, or ask to see photo albums in a job interview? Perhaps not, but you can glean this information from a web site. If it's publicly available information should you use it?
  • According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) more than half of all employers use some kind of online screening technology including social networking sites like FaceBook and MySpace.
  • Career advisors caution students to be discrete about the information they put on the web. Young people may know that they are just showing off and not realize that an employer will take the posting seriously or question their judgment. Most students simply do not understand that their web postings can hurt their future.
  • During the past few months, however, I've been seeing these acronyms showing up in interoffice emails with increasing frequency.
  • The House of Representatives held hearings in July 2006 regarding social networking websites. Such sites are new enough that there is not a body of case law regarding their use. Proposed legislation (H.R. 5319) addresses the social networking sites in terms of child protection rather than employment discrimination.
  • It behooves the law librarian to become familiar with and comfortable using these sites. How you use them is, of course, your responsibility.

  • One thing I’ve found helpful to do at the beginning of term is to create one document for each student with their name on it and then ask them to put any writing they do onto that. This saves a lot of hassle constantly creating and sharing Docs and makes them a lot easier to locate on Google Drive. It also has the added advantage that students and teachers can easily look back and see what feedback they got on previous writings and incorporate that into their new one.
  • do writing during a lesson and monitor their writing as they are doing it and provide ongoing comments to help guide them.
  • Another common classroom procedure that Google Docs can enhance is error correction. During the lesson, if you notice that students are making particular speaking or writing errors, you can collect them on a Google Doc and then share them with the group either at the end of the lesson or for homework. I would set the sharing settings so that students could only comment on the mistakes rather than edit them, and then they could work in pairs/groups to make suggestions in the margins as to what the correct answer is.

  • A variation on the typical reading comprehension exercise is to copy and paste the text or article into a Google Doc and then set questions in the margins for students to respond to. These can be traditional comprehension/true or false questions  or questions about the language in the text. Responding to these questions can be set up as a jigsaw activity so only certain groups or individuals answer certain questions. Alternatively, everyone answers all questions and the responses can be seen stacked on top of each other down the margin.
