Online ID Activity

Managing an online identity is crucial to your reputation, but first you have to know what kind of information exists about a person on the Internet. 
Here are your tasks:
  1. Find a partner to work with.
  2. Give your partner your full name.
  3. Search the name your partner just gave you. Try to find out as much information as you can about your partner. 
  4. Take notes!
  5. Share with your partner the information you found about them.

To complete your own S.W.O.T. Analysis
  1. Find pictures on the Internet that represent the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your life.
  2. Open the "swot_analysis_handout" document provided above.
  3. For each picture you find, locate the picture on the Cartesian coordinate system (see an example below!). The x axis will range from weaknesses to strengths, and the y axis will range from threats to opportunities. As you place each picture on the Cartesian plane, make sure to consider where the picture best fits on the plane and provide a caption that explains why you placed the picture in that quadrant. Remember: You have to consider the relationship between the external factors and the internal factors when placing them on a Cartesian plane!
