- Agree or disagree: my online contributions impact my professional life.
- Not right now while I’m still a student. But it might in the future.
- Yes, definitely. I try my best to be mindful of how the content I put online will affect my current or future employment.
- I’ve never really thought about it.
- I hide my online interactions behind aliases and privacy settings.
- Not at all! I’m trying to build my online profile and showcase artifacts of my work so that employers will find them and want to hire me.
- Always. My personal life is private and I’m not interested in sharing information online with anyone but my friends.
- Sometimes — it depends on the website.
- E-portfolios and resume banks are…
- …a waste of time. The type of employment I’m looking for won’t look at these resources.
- …a perfect way to showcase my work for future employment opportunities!
- …something I might look into in the future. I don’t have time right now.
- When I see “Mom makes $5000/mth working online for Google” I…
- …resign from my current job and ‘click to join’.
- …ignore it and close the window.
- …feel curious and want to find out more.
- Netiquette is…
- …I’ve never heard of it — are you sure that’s a word?
- …important because online communication can be easily misinterpreted and I wouldn’t want it to affect my job.
- …an attempt to limit freedom of expression.
- Online courses are..
- …something I would prefer to avoid.
- …convenient, but it doesn’t compare to the face-to-face experience of classroom learning.
- …my preferred way to learn.
- Researching my term paper on the Internet is a good idea.
- Umm. Isn’t that what the library is for?
- I initially research my topics online, but I only use authoritative content for my assignments.
- Absolutely, Google Scholar is a lifesaver.
- I know which digital content I’m allowed to use and I can accurately cite anything I find online.
- If it’s on the internet, isn’t it automatically free to use?
- I think I cite things properly most of the time, but I’m not 100% sure how to cite formats other than books or articles.
- Zotero is a dream come true.
- I use social media to collaborate and study with others online.
- All the time! Wikis or Google docs are an essential part of every group project I’ve done.
- Sometimes. If I’m stuck, on a topic or want to meet up at the library, I’ll connect with friends online but that’s about it.
- Never. Social media is for my social life. I try to leave school out if it!
- I have a digital dossier.
- Digital what? I try to keep my online footprint as small as possible.
- Probably, but I’ve never checked into it. When I’m actually looking for a job I’ll take care of my online profile. I don’t have time to manage it right now.
- I intentionally contribute online content to build the kind of digital identity I want.
