Things to Remember…

don’t know- beware of viruses & “phishing”
Upload or start all your work from your Google Drive so you can access it from anywhere.
Self-Control & Cold Turkey
Self-Control (if you have a Mac) or Cold Turkey (if you have Windows) will temporarily block sites you choose like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or games so you can get your work done.
This not about punishment, but productivity, and helping you manage distraction…only if YOU want to.
SelfControl & ColdTurkey
SelfControl (Macs): go to www.selfcontrolapp.com and download
ColdTurkey (Windows): go to www.getcoldturkey.com and download
Both SelfControl & ColdTurkey give you the control of what you “blacklist” and a timer to control it.
What’s your “brand”?
What are other people putting online about you (photo “tags”, comments, retweets, etc.)?
How do you represent yourself online? Can things about you be misinterpreted or
taken out of context?
Managing your brand…
We want the positive stuff: Things we’ve done well/show us at our best Compliments
We want to minimize/eliminate the negative: Moments of stupidity/poor judgments Mistakes/shortcomings.
How many of you use Twitter, Instagram? How many put videos on Vine, Vimeo, or
YouTube?
Brainstorm: Think Before You Post

What are some question you should ask yourself before posting anything about someone else?
