The Internet Knows - and Never Forgets

 Explore what the internet knows about you - and how you look to others.

  • Learning what Google knows about you
    • open your chrome browser and log into your Gmail/Google acount
    • click this link and we will explore together/privately: https://bit.ly/GoogleKnowsU

  • Learning what others see about you on Google
    • While still logged into Google, go ahead, Google yourself
    • Now log out of Gmail/Google and Google your name
    • Note the similarities and differences

  • Dr. Nichols shares a brief presentation - "The Internet Never Forgets."


  • Think about HOW YOU WANT TO BE SEEN by completing the Personal Brand Worksheet in Canvas before our next class meeting.

Embedding a Pinterest Board into Your Website or Blog

Here is a widget for my Pinterest Board - Artifacts from the Future!

 
PUT WIDGET HERE

Wanna know how I did it?

First - add this line of code somewhere in the body of the html for the web page or blog:

<script async="" defer="" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

(This lets your page know you are utilizing javascript.)

Second - place this java script code where you want the "widget" to appear in yoru website or blog - remember to change the url to the url for YOUR BOARD!

 <a data-pin-board-width="400" data-pin-do="embedBoard" data-pin-scale-height="240" data-pin-scale-width="80" href="https://www.pinterest.com/randydnichols/artifacts-from-the-future/"></a>

So - remember to use the HTML view to edit yoru blog - NOT the compose view. ALSO - don;t get freaked out because you can;t see the widget active in your "compose view." - Try the Preview button - but when you publish it - you can "VIEW BLOG" to see what your visitor sees.

You should be fine after a few trials and adjustments.

Good Luck
