Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 9/27, 3rd Period
"Everyone open your laptops and use your favorite browser to go to the Google website." Abby flashed the website up on the screen behind her. "Today we are going to learn about the guiltest of pleasures...googling yourself."
"Depending on how you do it, soooo dirty."
Abby gave a brief lecture on search engines in general and specifically the history of google. "Now googling has the potential to bring up a lot of porn on the most innocent of searches, so think twice about what you type in. To get us started you can feel free to google my name, see what you can bring up."
After they finished that activity, Abby pointed back up to the screen. "Now I want you guys to google yourself and see what's out there. If you want, you can try and google your classmates."
[ooc:ooc: Please wait for ocd threads. Up! Play!]
[ooc2 electric boogaloo: Googling Abby Sciuto will bring up her NCIS employee assessment file and they can also find the following pictures. Some of them she knows about, a few she doesn't. Mod which of these things you find and feel free to talk about it amongst yourselves or talk to Abby about them]
[return of the ooc: Googling yourself: You are in control of how much or how little information will come up on your character. You can decide to have canon information be found, historical records of your characters birth/death, pictures...whatever. If you want something to show up but it doesn't really make sense for it...handwave. It's Fandom, people! If you don't want your character to find anything at all about him/her, that doesn't mean that they can't have fun and find other stuff. Pictures of other people with the same name, etc.]
[mothra vs.ooc: Googling others: If you want to google other students you need to ask them, either IC or OOC. I'm very, very serious about this. Find out if you can do the search and let them set the parameters. It can be as detailed as what I did for Abby or as vague as saying "Blair didn't mind people googling for him but all they would find were a bunch of message board posts on enhanced senses and a picture from when he and Naomi chained themselves to an oil rig." Don't mod google finds for other students. Seriously, don't do it. I will...do something horrible to you if you do. Grrr.]
