The Last Hurrah

 Final Vanity Search

FireFox Search

In addition to the original information I found in our first vanity search, I found this information while doing  this final vanity search. It was some research work that I had done in 2013 at UNT in Denton. This did not show up in my first vanity search. I had actually forgotten about doing this!

I did not find any new images of myself. Lots of images for other people named Georgette, but not me. Only found the one that NAF had posted several years ago. And then I found my YouTube channel which is linked to my E-Portfolio for the ETEC596 Capstone class. The picture from my e-portfolio showed up there. So now I have found a total of 2 pictures of myself floating around on the internet. Since I hate taking pictures that makes me very happy!

I found 2 Linked In profiles with my name on them. One was mine & the other belonged to someone else. Here is the link to my profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgette-jordan-6985996

I found 2 Pinterest accounts with my name attached, but neither of them is mine.

I found an Obituary with my name in Rochester, NH (1927-2014). Obviously, that is not me because I am typing this post! LOL

I did find some correct information for me on the IDCrawl web site: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi66a7ju7b9AhU8lWoFHcq9DEU4ChAWegQIDRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.idcrawl.com%2Fgeorgette-jordan&usg=AOvVaw10QJvGWh4yki0imiEBOG6V  It had the wrong Instagram, Twitter, & Facebook information listed. But it did have some correct information listed for me in their Background Check area and in the Public Records area.

Google Search

I was a little stunned that my foster mom’s obituary popped up on the search this time. It was not there when I did the first search at the beginning of the class. I also found my “head shot” picture that I used in my portfolio, which I didn’t see last search. I also found my YouTube channel referenced. I found the original Picture & article that NAF had posted & additionally found a new reference to one of my former robotics’ teams in the Dallas Hub that had not appeared in previous searches. This search did contain the new Twitter & Instagram information that I found on Fire Fox.  The funniest thing I found was my name listed as a Cocktail Waitress at a place named Lakes Roadhouse in Pennsylvania.  That is one state I have never been to!

Peer Reviews

One of this week’s assignments was to critique specific classmates final projects. If you are interested in what I told them you can see it here.

My Final Presentation

I won’t bore you with all the extra documents that I had to have for my final project. But I will post the link to my final Grad School presentation. Hope you don’t think it is too horrible!

Reflection

I have learned so much about Technology as a whole and Web 2.0 technologies specifically.  Actually, I think I learned more about what I did not know! These technologies can provide our students and ourselves with a plethora of resources for teaching & learning. There is technology for everyone, regardless of their capabilities, and most can be adapted to suit any need. As for what affordances I would look for in the future, since I deal with SPED students I would look for items that are easy to learn & easily adapted. The pitfalls are that some of these technologies are not adaptable to education & are primarily developed for industry. If there were anything I would want to avoid in Web 2.0 tools in the future it would be the lack of security to protect our students.

This has been a very difficult journey……Especially this 7-week semester! Taking 2 classes concurrently has almost driven me crazy. God watched over me & I made it to the end!

This is proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
