LeWando,

Great response! If you want students to learn more about their online brand, you can have them go beyond conducting a Google search on themselves. You may surprise them and ask them to calculate their online personal brand score. After they look at you perplexed, introduce them to these tools (After you familiarize yourself of course)

1. Online ID Calculator - http://www.onlineidcalculator.com/index.php
2. My Web Career - http://www.mywebcareer.com/

For a comprehensive list of Online Tools for Jobsearch and Professional Development, you may want to bookmark this page: http://careertipster.com/resources/improve-your-job-search-with-these-online-resources/
