13. I think it is kinda wrong. The reject applications or revoke acceptations to those they feel that aren't right for their college.

11. Other places admissions officers look for potential problems are digital sources and other social media sites like instagram.

14. Brookline High School is trying to stop students from posting negative things on social media so they'll higher their chances of being admitted to college. I do believe it is ethical because those that listen will spread the word and most students want to get into college so they're be more wary of what they say and post.
15. I have definitely not said anything on social media that will come back to me later. I already had this knowledge so I've always known to be careful as to what I say and post.
1. posting negative things about the other attendees
ReplyDelete2. Not really because you can say names and brands of something without them checking to see if our doing so.

13. I think that its a little prejudice since it doesn't really base it off of negative things just that that person doesn't belong in their community.
14. To get students to get rid of the things that would get them rejected form colleges form their online profiles.
15. No as I do not posses any social website profiles.
1. First off, it is wrong of her to judge her fellow attendee's, second off, it is wrong for her to release those out onto social media's sites and tell others how "terrible" or "ugly" a person is and etc.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, Colleges can use this to find students who are interested in them and follow them, or they can use this to weed out bad crowds who are putting the college down or cyber-bullying other students openly.
3. 31% of officials visit applicants Facebook and other social media sites.
4. 30% of admissions officers found negative information that effected the students acceptance.
5. Digital footprint can be an IP address tracked to a bad site, your history, your facebook posts, your tweets, and anything you do digitally that can be tracked by others. I leave footprints when I run servers, I leave footprints when I do school work, I leave footprints when I go online, I leave footprints when I text, I leave footprints when I call, I leave footprints when I play video games, and I'm leaving a footprint now by uploading a completed question set for school onto a blogging website that can be viewed by others.
6.My friends, colleges, jobs, my school, any organization that I am involved with or that I will be involved with. Currently my friends can view what I do online on social media sites, meaning facebook. My school can also monitor that if they wished too. My father and mothers job is monitoring my facebook to see if there is anything negative that I put up that could effect them, and when I apply to college the college will view my page.
7. The standard is that they would like to stay with the regular admission ways instead of doing extra research.
8. Make an error. The officers could find a social media site with a person with the same name, and think it is the person, and if the person who shares the name does bad things online and the applicant does not, the applicant could be affected.
9. What information in the article - sort of - contradicts the previous information about admissions and social media searches? Should you believe this - why or why not? It contradicts in the way that it goes against the thesis presented about the big deal about negative tweeting, but then it talks about how tedious the online searching is and such.
10. They could put positive things, or work of theirs which is good and post it online for colleges to see. This most of the time doesn't affect students applications.
11. Besides social media they look into you at your high school, from your teachers, and sometimes from your peer.
12. It pointed out that a student was making offensive remarks against a teacher and they didn't want someone like that in their community.
13. How did they follow up on a social media post and what was the outcome? I am torn between the Colgate policy. It could be used for wrong and for good. They followed up with a phone call, then denied the student.
14. They are having them delete inappropriate things from their social media and change their usernames to something friendly. I honestly believe that this is unethical because it is hiding what the student has done, and in a way it is lying.
15. No, I don't normally post on facebook and I don't comment regularly, and facebook and gmail are the only social media sites that I use. I don't send anything or do anything on these that I know is wrong or could bite me in the butt later. I was taught on this subject since I was very young, so I was well prepared.
1. After reading the opening to this article - what was the perspective student's mistake?
ReplyDelete2. Should a college be able to "monitor" tweets with their name mentioned in the tweet? Why or why not? Yes, I do think they have full rights to look at social networking websites. That way they can decide if they want that kind of person to attend their school. If a student applying has something to hide.. there's ALWAYS a privacy setting.
3. What percentage of admissions officials visit social media sites - which sites do they visit? 31 %, Facebook or other social media sites.
4. What is the percentage of information found on these sites that could stop an admission to a college? 30%
5. Define - Digital Footprint - list ALL the ways you think you can leave a DIGITAL FOOTPRINT - NOT IN THE ARTICLE - THINK AND ALSO RESEARCH IT A digital footprint can be a URL address, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, pictures and posts.
6. Who else is LOOKING at your social media posts? What could this mean for you? Jobs that I apply for can be looking at my websites. This could mean that if they found something bad, that could change their mind about hiring the applicant.
7. What seems to be the standard for notification when negative social media affects an admission? Some colleges won't notify the students, but some will just to show the student how transparent it is to find their online footprint.
8. Define - erroneously - then What are some of the mistakes that can be made by admissions officers? definition: mistakenly. Mistakes that could be made by the admissions officers is that: it could be a fake account of someone (imposture) or it could be someone else with the same name that has the same facebook name.
9. What information in the article - sort of - contradicts the previous information about admissions and social media searches? Should you believe this - why or why not? The ending was different than I thought it would be. It contradicted itself. It says a persons online footprint is a really big deal, but then many schools said they wouldn't check, they just don't have the time to check over every since applicant.
10. How have students utilized social media or other digital sources to their advantage? Has this really helped students? They will share videos or blogs that they have that they worked on. It doesn't affect applicants.

13. What do you think of the Colgate policy? How did they follow up on a social media post and what was the outcome? They follow up by telling the student what they saw. This is because of they can ask if there was something they didn't understand. They follow up with a phone call. I think this is goo because it gives the student a chance to explain themselves.
14. What is Brookline High School doing to help students get admitted to college? Do you think this is ethical? Why or why not? They get them to change their names, and delete bad things on their sites. I think this is bad because if they have something to hide then they don't deserve to get in to that college, it's not fair.
15. While you were reading this article? Did you think that you might have said or posted something on social media that could come back to get you later? Also Will having this knowledge change the way you interact on social media - why or why not? No I haven't posted anything bad online. If I did it probably would defiantly come back to bite me in the butt. I've been learning about how colleges and jobs look at that stuff for a while now and I've never doubted it.

ReplyDelete2. Yes they should be able to monitor tweets that they are mentioned in. Using a Colleges name is like putting a hashtag for them to find that tweet, especially if that college is actively involved in social media.

4. Thirty percent said that they found something that was damaging to the applicants chances of being accepted to the college.

6. Jobs and other people can be looking at your social media to see how you really are and not just during the initial time you meet them or go in for the interview.
7. If colleges find a discrepancy in the social media they don’t necessarily tell the applicant that that is why they were rejected.
8. Erroneously- in a mistaken manner. They people working in admissions often take things said in a joking manner, on social media, as fact and judge the people based on this.
10. They can use it to censor themselves and show self control so that the college board will think more highly of them.
11. They also learn about problems with a student based on something a high school counselor said or has told them to look more into.
12. He made an offencive comment about one of this teachers in high school and after the board saw it they said “We thought, this is not the kind of person we want in our community.”
13. I believe that is the best way to handle it other than taking everything someone says online at face value.
14. They suggest that students remove posts about alcohol and make a business acceptable email address so that they have a better chance getting into the college that they want.
1. The student posted negative comments on a social media site.

7. Colleges don't necessarily tell you that they found something wrong on your social media account. So to why someone is rejected can be a mystery to them.
8. Erroneously- in a mistaken manner. Admission officers take a lot things given to them as a joke.
9. People are starting to hide themselves. Admissions claim that they don't check your social media, but more than half the time it's not true.
10. Students use social media to find out about current events or learn what the assignment is. Hashtags can help someone find out more about a current topic or discussion in the world.
11. They look for grade records, disciplinary records, and the things that you were involved in.
12. This student had made a comment about one of his teachers in high school.
13. I think it's good because they had confronted the student instead of looking at a social media site.
14. They are asking students to remove statuses and pictures that are alcohol related and are asking for their email.
15. I haven't posted anything that I would regret and the way the situation is turning now, I have to keep it like that.

6. Employers now vet the online reputations of job candidates as a matter of course. You might not get hired because of what’s on your social media.
7. The standard for notification when negative social media affects an admission seems to be undergraduates and officials.
8. Mistakenly or in a mistaken manner;
9. Most said their school received so many applications to review — with essays, recommendations and, often, supplemental portfolios — that staff members wouldn’t be able to do extra research online. A few also felt that online investigations might lead to unfair or inconsistent treatment.
10. They sometimes use it for school projects or anything educational
11. A college may learn about a potential problem from an outside source, such as a high school counselor or a graduate, prompting it to look into the matter.
12. The applicant had posted offensive comments about one of his high school teachers.
13. Colgate University does notify students if they are eliminated from the applicant pool for any reason other than being uncompetitive candidates. I believe that their policy is rightfully fair.
14. At Brookline High School in Massachusetts, juniors are taught to delete alcohol-related posts or photographs and to create socially acceptable email addresses. It is ethical but it isn’t doing anything wrong so why not do it.
15. Yes and yes because I don’t want my social media be the reason I can’t get into a great college or university.

10. They can post educational improvements and awards that colleges could potentially see.
11. They look at your grades and disciplinary records or anything suggested by a high school counselor or a graduate.
12. They made a rude comment about one of their teachers.
13. I think it was fair because they confronted the student about the issue. They called and the student did not deny it. They denied the entrance of the student.
14. They are making them remove all inappropriate statuses and pictures. I think this is a good thing for the students because it teaches them to monitor their actions and could help them in the future.
15. No because I don't post anything stupid online. But if I did, it would change the way I interacted on social media because it could affect my future.

12. the student posted bad things about their high school teachers, someone saw it and told the school, and the school didn't want that kind of person to be at their school
13. I think it's a good policy if someone is wrongly accused, they can clear things up. Someone was accused of an alcohol incident and the college checked up on it and asked the person if it was true and it was.
14. I think that its good that the school is teaching their students to be aware of what they post online, but if the students cover up everything, it's like they know they can act however they want with no liability

Erroneously: he accidently believed it
It hasn’t really worked out for students
Grades SAT scores recommendations
They can post negative things about teachers maybe even other students
I agree because the Colgate policy gives you a chance to explain yourself before they make a decision
Guidance counselors teach them how to basically clean their digital identities. I think this is both good and bad because everyone DOES deserve a second chance but some people may use it to their advantage to do bad things and not get caught
Yes there are things that i may have posted or have seen being posted online that i wouldn’t want people to see so it makes me be more careful of what i say and do.
1. Throughout the presentation, she posted disparaging comments on Twitter about her fellow attendees, repeatedly using a common expletive.

1. The perspective student’s mistake in the opening of the article was posting negative comments about other perspective students at the information session for the college.
ReplyDelete2. I think that a college should be able to track tweets with their name mentioned. I say this because people are posting negative comments that can affect the character of the student and the world today is using more technology and social media sites.
3. The percentage of admissions officials that visit social media sites were 31% and they visited Facebook and other social media accounts.
4. The percentage of information found on these sites that could stop an admission to a college was 30%.
5. Digital footprint in my opinion is a tracking or listing of use of technology by a person which can show what you use and.or how often you use it. The things that can be looked at is social media, internet of things you search and history of technology usage.
6. The other people or groups of people who are looking at social media posts are places where you are trying to get a job. For you this could determine whether you will or be able to get a job or not.
7. The standard for notification when there is negativity on an applicant's social media account is to not formally tell the applicant but just to not accept the student into the school.
8. Erroneously means that there was a mistake and some of the mistakes that can be made by admission officers would be finding someone with the same name as an applicant and deny the student based off of social media accounts.
9. The information that contradicts prior information about admissions would be that they don’t do google searches on applicants and how they don’t have the time to do searches on social media accounts and google searches for applicants.
10. Students have posted things that aren’t offensive to others and kept things positive and it has helped students to get into colleges.
11. The other places that admission officers look for potential problems are with people who graduated high school with you, high school guidance counselors and any other outside source.
12. Facebook kept a student out of Pitzer College a student at the college became friends with an applicant and told admission officers that the applicant had posted offensive things about a high school teacher.
13. I think that the Colgate policy is fair and reasonable because a student should know why they were or weren’t accepted into a school. They followed up on a social media post was by calling the student themselves and asked if something online was true or not and they took back the acceptance of admission from the student.
14. Brookline High School is telling students to delete alcohol related posts or photographs and to create socially acceptable emails. I think that this is unethical because students should show who they really are and not hide anything from college admission officers.
15. No I haven’t posted anything offensive on social media and it will keep me aware of what not to post on social media that could possibly come back to hurt me in the future.
The prospective student’s mistake was that she posted disparaging comments o Twitter about her attendees, repeatedly using a common expletive.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think a college should be able to monitor the tweets while they’re attending college, but I do think they should monitor it if they’re trying to apply for college. It’s kind of similar to applying for a job.
About 31 percent of admissions officials visit social media sites such as Facebook.
About 30 percent of admissions officers found online information that messed up their application.
I think that digital footprints are these that people leave behind on the internet. It’s kind of like making footprints in dirt. I think some ways you can leave a digital footprint is by simply posting something such as a message or a picture. Or a picture and a message. Another digital footprint could be uploading a video of some sort on YouTube.
Businesses are also looking at social media posts. This means that what we post can affect whether or not we get that certain job.
If colleges see something negative that you posted, it really isn’t necessary for them to notify the person trying to apply for that college.
Erroneously means to have done something by mistake. Some mistakes that can be made is that the mistaken that person’s with someone else’s or they get the account wrong.
