We live in a society where online searches tend to influence – if not drive – many of our decisions. If we are looking for a good doctor in the area, a potential vacation spot, or advice on what electronics to purchase this holiday season, we will perform searches using our phone, tablet, or computer. It is so easy and has become almost second-nature. That said, we don’t just look up inanimate objects and places – we look up individuals all the time.

It’s your profile, you can include what you want to include—right? Before you post, think. Are you prepared to have those words and images represent you for months, and even years to come? Your postings on profiles and to chats and blogs may have cyberlives much longer than what you might have imagined or intended, and may reach a much wider audience than you could have anticipated.

Our students live in an online world. They’re emotionally and physically attached to their devices and many of their relationships exist within technology. As educators, there are many ways that we have had to adapt to this changing landscape of communication within our teaching, and when I look around my institution, I think we’re doing a remarkable job at keeping up with the rapid pace of change.

8 Steps for Students to Remove Thier Digital Footprints ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

We’re not going to judge. Your past (or your present) is your own business. But if you’ve been active online, either voluntarily or not, suddenly deciding to opt out of the online world isn’t easy. Google’s controversial ‘right to be forgotten’ process is unlikely to help you. Search engines are built to find you. Social media won’t let you go easily either.

You’ve got to delete, very extensively, everything on social media. Then try and remove all evidence from websites and blogs. And directories. And email providers. And search engines.

This is a lesson that every student should learn without having to learn it the hard way. That's where Common Craft's new video could be helpful.
