Personal Web Presence

Questions (write a paragraph in response to each of these):
Describe what a successful, effective web presence means for a professional in your chosen field. What might a prospective employer look for online about you? What kinds of information and what qualities might they hope to find? And what might you be expected to compose online in order to advance in your profession?
A successful and effective web presence in my chosen field would be one that demonstrates that I am computer-savvy. It would also show that I have an interest in keeping up with technology. An employer might look to see if I participate in blogs or forums pertaining to what’s new in classroom technology for example. Employers would look to see if I maintain a personal/professional website which can show my interest in technology.

Do you write on Facebook or twitter with prospective employers in mind? Do you have an active LinkedIn account? Do you maintain a personal or professional website/blog? Do you participate in any professional online communities?
I would describe my web presence as being very weak in substance. My current job doesn’t require me to do much public facing tasks so very little has been done in my creating a personal web presence. I do however update parts of the department’s wiki page and our content management system. I have a personal Facebook page which is mainly used to keep in touch with distant family members. My twitter and LinkedIn accounts are not used or updated. I have not found the need or interest until now to create a personal or professional website/blog nor do I participate in any online
