When I started out planning this project, the Student Survival Guide to a Web 2.0 World, I was perplexed as to how I should start. The first steps that I took were to figure out what I wanted to say, to whom I would be saying it, and how I would say those same things. I skipped the whole research phase in the beginning (don’t worry, got back to it!). I just wish that someone had held my hand a bit in the beginning, got me thinking in the right direction.

So that we can have a better discussion in the next instalment next Tuesday, allow me to share a few links to start getting your head in the right spot. These are required reading! These articles came up when Googling “student personal branding” and were very nearly, if not the very same, articles I crawled through whilst back-checking my stories.

If you read one of these, make this the one: Leadership Lab

These others are also good resources and cover a wider variety of backgrounds and for various audiences:
