Brenda MuenchShould we be teaching our students how to create a "googleable" profile for themselves?

She was talking about asking administrators if they “Googled” people before
hiring them as part of their background check. Most of the people she asked said
that they in fact did. Sheryl went on to ask them:If it’s true that you’re going to Google people and it’s going to impact your
decision to hire or not hire… then what are you doing to prepare your students
to be Googled?What are you doing to make sure that they’re “clickable”? … This is going to
become more and more important. If you’re not helping them to connect, if you’re
not helping them to create, if you’re not helping them to be producers of
knowledge rather than consumers of knowledge… then you’re not preparing them for
that vita that they’re going to need, for that résumé that they’re going to need
in order to be hired in the future.If employers are using Google to validate or reference-check people, what
impression does it give when the search comes back empty? Is that a good thing?
Is it a bad thing?
