Facebook, Privacy, and Social Networking

 

Dave and John are joined by Alvin Trusty and his 18-year-old daughter Kara Trusty to discuss Facebooks' newly revamped privacy settings, the expectations of privacy when posting things online, and best practices for managing your online identity. We also talked about how schools approach social networking, and whether they're adequately preparing students to make intelligent decisions regarding their own online privacy and identities.

19:07:24 Cathy E Exactly- don't post anything you don't want the world to see. Anywere!
19:13:18 gary My son, who is 24, decided to close his FaceBook account, because he does not like the lack of privacy.  He would rather talk to his friends directly or via phone.
19:14:10 jackiegerstein Weird to have a prof try to friend a student.

19:16:46 Cathy E Kara, should teachers do a better job of helping high school kids understand social networking?
19:17:10 JohnS http://www.flickr.com/photos/63873121@N00/4630457704/
19:18:31 Kara Trusty I think so. I know at my school we definately don't focus on anything dealing with social networking

19:29:28 JohnS Controlled Social Networking for Student Collaboration: http://www.trustyetc.com/trustyblog/2010/05/21/controlled-social-network...
19:29:48 jackiegerstein I agree! I believe and practice a strong and transparent online presence.
19:30:23 jackiegerstein I am going back to K-8 teaching next year - use Thinquest as a safe networking site - great to teach kids HOW to do this
19:30:38 gary I have been involved in various search committees for non-profits. A positive presence on the web actually works to the candidate's advantage especially when the person will be the public face of the the group.
19:31:18 JohnS Amen, Gary.
19:31:42 gary Someone without a presence may be at a disadvantage.
19:32:40 jackiegerstein Funny how easily schools post photographs in the newspaper of students with full names.
19:34:03 jackiegerstein I am - online makes me more intentional - I model this with my students.
19:34:41 jackiegerstein Internet has the longest memory in the history of the world
19:35:21 gary "From away" - Dave just revealed his roots.
19:37:26 Alvin Trusty Guys... Kara has to run... bday stuff.
19:37:38 jackiegerstein Ouch - speak for yourself - I am always intentional about what is posted online
19:37:44 Cathy E We have a standing release - for newspaper and Internet. Each family signs at the beginning of the year.
