From weblogg-ed:
...what are you doing to insure the kids in your classrooms are “Googled well” when they go for their own interviews? And I don’t just mean telling them NOT to post certain things online. I mean what are you doing to help students shape their online portfolios so that when their future employers or future mates run the search, what they find is not just a lack of negatives but a potential plethora of positives? Not surprisingly, the answer is basically “not much.”

What an interesting article! I, as many other educators, have been warning kids about being careful about what should NOT end up on Google. I can see how it would be beneficial to have positive things show up on a Google search. I can also understand many of the comments that talked about strict rules about how we site pictures on our school webpages. I think it needs to be a balance of being smart, but also letting kids showcase their accomplishments.
