==== Written work and activities ====

'''1. Submit a discussion provocation'''

'''2. Friendly web presence audit:''' 

You will once again work in pairs (or so) for this assignment:
* Search your colleague's full name. See what results come up.
* Using a browser window with no search/browsing history and without being logged in to any services (Gmail, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.), conduct another search for your colleague and see what comes up.
* Conduct yet another search for your colleague's name using a search engine that you do not use frequently/ever. A good option for many of you might be [duckduckgo.com/ DuckDuckGo].
* Repeat your searches with different configurations of your colleague's name (e.g., with/without middle names, with/without quotations, with/without institutional affiliation(s), etc.). Be creative (but don't be creepy).
* Take notes on what you learn. What do you find through the quick/initial search? What do you discover through more involved/elaborate searches? Save and/or note links/screenshots as you deem appropriate. 
* Come up with three concrete recommendations for how this person can improve their online image.
* Prepare to discuss this analysis with your colleague in class this week.
