10. dynamics of social media
• Invisible Audiences. We are used to being able to assess the people
around us when we're speaking. We adjust what we're saying to
account for the audience. Social media introduces all sorts of
invisible audiences.
• There are lurkers who are present at the moment but whom we
cannot see, but there are also visitors who access our content at a
later date or in a different environment than where we first
produced them.
• As a result, we have to present ourselves and communicate without
fully understanding the potential or actual audience.
11. dynamics of social media
• Collapsed Contexts. Connected to this is the collapsing of contexts. In choosing
what to say when, we account for both the audience and the context more
generally. Social media brings all of these contexts crashing into one another
and it's often difficult to figure out what's appropriate, let alone what can be
understood.
• Blurring of Public and Private. Finally, there's the blurring of public and
private. These distinctions are normally structured around audience and
context with certain places or conversations being "public" or "private." These
distinctions are much harder to manage when you have to contend with the
shifts in how the environment is organized.
12. Google you
For those in the job market, it's critical to learn how to
monitor and manage electronic information about
yourself. While you can't control all the information out
there, there are some steps you can take to ensure that
your digital footprint presents an accurate, favorable, and
professional image of you.
Google yourself (yes Google is now a verb) and find out
what information about you — if any — is already online.
You may find very little is linked to your name, or you may
discover much more information about you than you
anticipated.
14. YOU
If an online search of yourself reveals items
that you wouldn't want hiring managers to
see, such as photos or commentary you
posted in an open forum, contact the person
who posted the information or the website
administrator to ask that it be taken down.
It is never too late or too early to start and
rebrand yourself.
15. Do you know your digital footprint?
Are you managing it yet?
16. Think Before You Post
It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and write or do something that may
seem hilarious at the time. But remember, what you say can really hurt someone,
or come back to haunt you. Think before you post. It only takes a second or two.
Ask yourself if you really want to say it. Make sure you don’t mind if your friends,
classmates, or teachers hear about it later.
Also remember that any information you post – whether in a comment, a note,
or a video chat – might be copied, pasted, and distributed in ways that you didn't
intend. Before you post, ask yourself - would I be OK if this content was shared
widely at school or with my future employer?
At the same time, we all make mistakes. If you find yourself wishing you hadn’t
said or done something, it’s never too late to apologize.
17. Tips for Teens
Don’t share your password with anyone.
Only accept friend requests from people you know.
Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want your parents,
teachers, or employer to see.
Be authentic. The real you is better than anything you
might pretend to be.
Learn about privacy settings, and review them often.
18. Report Abusive Content
Be sure to always report abusive content—
whether it’s on your profile page, or someone
else’s. You can also report inappropriate Pages,
Groups, Events and fake or impostor profiles.
(Remember that reporting is confidential, so no
one will know who made the report.)
36. We need to stand up against bullying and cyberbullying. We
need to be leaders for all.
We need to understand how our online actions affect others
AND how they affect our own lives presently and in the future.
Stand up.
Stand up now.
Stand up for those who can’t.
Stand up for those who need YOU.
Stand up because YOU MATTER.
Stand up because YOU MATTER to others.
You need to market yourself to gain attention and eventually do what you like doing. Don ’ t hide your talents, simply share your knowledge and brand yourself as an expert in what you do.
