Many of us have Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter accounts. Others have personal blogs. While these social networking tools allow us to be more connected to friends and family, they also make our private lives more visible to parents, students, and employers. Google your name from time to time to see what comes up.
Be smart about what you post on your personal sites. If a photo or story you want to post could cause you or others embarrassment, could be incriminating, or is better off left private, don't share it. If you feel you want to share information that may be more personal in nature, make your account off limits to the general public. Many sites allow you to make your account private, open only to those you personally invite.
Make sure you update your personal sites on your own time, using your own personal computer equipment. Remember that your NSD email account is the property of the Northshore School District and is not to be considered private or confidential.
