- Want students to express themselves through multi-media www.wevideo.com Video editor in browser. Upload video into it and remix a video

- digital portfolio should be ongoing; not just at the end of the year - employers don’t want just a resume, they want to know what students are doing right now, etc. Students should have LinkedIn profile. Only time when employers do searches on students is when they really count. If a student has the absence of having a digital footprint, then that is just as damaging as not having one.

- social media resume - interactive resumes

ON TWITTER: VINE RESUME - make a video in 10 seconds https://vine.co/v/b6wxtwrwP7P ‎ Vine Video: @dawnsiff #VineResume Why you should hire me, in 6 seconds!

QUESTION: blogs, etc. using pictures. Do the permission forms that parents sign at the beginning of the year cover this? Do these forms include blogs, online sharing, etc.?
