A1: Says I'm a soap maker

I have noticed that a lot of CUE and other presenting gigs show up on a search

A1b. I'm okay with my FB being 1st, but I've gotta beef up my blog, it wasn't even in the first page of results

Nice point.... I too want to make everything about this footprint POSITIVE

A1: A couple hits down has my intro for my teacher web site.

I googled myself and a pic of pops up among the images! Must be because we are blog buddies!

Yeah...my teaching portfolio from college still gets quite a few hits. I should probably convert that

I would expect animated gif on a Jeremiah search!

I kept my FB under my maiden name, harder for my MS students to find me

Real interested in everyones answers for Q5
-
I agree... I am very interested too Shea
-
I like being in CST so I have a bit of a jump on the convo in the AM
-
A5) As with all solid propaganda, it needs to be painfully easy to remember and share. An easy Twitter handle is paramount.
-
A5. 1) Twitter 2) blog 3) website
-
-
-
Yep, this Q sounds like an awesome time for me to sit back and learn for a second.
-
A5 Twitter, be positive, be authentic, be giving
-
A5) Twitter (PLNs, lists), Blog (various types), Website. Although, the site is only as good as the content published to it.
-
A5: Twitter, Blog (meaning I actually write them more often), Website & stickers (only because I ❤️ stickers like a 5yo)
-
me too, my captain turned me on to it...epic show
-
A5: Presenting at conferences, all the googly stuff (applying for innovator)...posting more and more often on my blog Twitter
-
A5) I think a central "hub" or site which clearly organizes all my "hats" and connections
I'm trying it out, but its hard
-
EXCEPT when it's already 10 and I go to sleep by 9:30...I have to stay up for
-
Yes, the Site / Blog is the key for me I think
-
A4: “Seek the truthful all things.“
-
yes - good content remains King! Its takes time for find where that is though
-
-
Agree! Looking fwd to hearing what others think!
-
I've been in draft a lot lately...I need to publish some just haven't had time to finalize :/
-
haha see for me it works better because i have to put my kids down
-
-
I'm just not sure what my answer would be!
-
A5: Twitter, App Store, Curated List of Web Sites.
-
-
Figuring this out too Don't think Ts visit my website Work audience mainly reads/watches what I email out
-
thats tough.. I got 11 drafts sitting in there as well. I don't want to publish crap either.
-
Writing, no matter what, takes awhile tho
-
-
A6. create a menu, document my progress and projects;)
-
no doubt, I've got 3 articles I'm sitting on still...
-
I've noticed my district people aren't the most dedicated readers of my blog as well!
-
Writing is fast for me, reflecting in cohesive thoughts that can be understood by others takes time
-
A6: Presenting (1st time!) on Desmos Activity Builder at my district's inaugural eLearning Day in early June.
