Hi Hannah,

Great job finding information about yourself online! You do a great job comparing what information you were able to find about yourself online versus who the “real” you is. I especially appreciate your takeaways about your level of satisfaction with this information and that you’re not going to change your behaviors because of this research. I would like to hear more of your general takeaways after having collected all of your information. You make many great points throughout this piece of writing and I think a few extra sentences synthesizing your overall takeaway would better capture what you learned. You had really great logistics and train of thought throughout this. Great job!

Hey Hannah, I really enjoyed reading your data identity statement. More specifically, one of the points you made that I enjoyed reading about was how the person you are online is not the person you are in real life. You bring up a great point that with social media, people tend to only post their highlights and brightest moments, rather than a mix of positive and negatives. This was a great point and is important to remember when looking at selective information about someone on the Internet. One of the things I think you could improve upon is doing a deeper analysis of your Google search by pairing your name with more keywords. You mentioned that you used the name of your grade school and found some interesting results. I would be interested to see if you came across even more results if you added more keywords. Maybe you were involved with a particular club on campus or were part of some interesting camp or organization that is not directly involved with your school. Overall, you did a great job with this identity statement, but you might want to consider doing a deeper search into your online identity. – Rahil Patel
