Keep personal information limited and locked
Create secure passcodes for every site and regulate who can view your information
It only takes one hacker to ruin a life
Online Privacy

“Keep up with friends”… not clients.
Be aware of what is posted and who views it
I like to keep this one personal. I do not foresee a professional Facebook account
Professional Facebook Pages

Hang out with those in your circles and stay social
Great way to stream video messaging with friends
I found this a useful way to connect with peers
Google Plus (G+)

“Personal publishing platforms”
Share your thoughts, reviews, experiences etc. at length with people from all over the globe
Wary of what this implies for physical social interaction
Blogs: Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr

Thank you Julie Hanks for your Q/A with the GCEP585 class!
I learn something new with every Tweet posted by the MH professionals I follow on Twitter!
It’s amazing how much information is out there

The use of social media for social change
Use your unique voice to inspire, promote, or be a catalyst for reform
My thoughts go out to Boston and the use of technology that allowed authorities to apprehend the suspects so quickly
We can do great things

Share presentations Privately or publicly
Create slide shows for a variety of purposes: professional, academic, leisure etc.
Allows users to browse presentations by searching for key words
In my current graduate student status I see slideshare as an excellent tool for sharing academic presentations

Although at times I felt overwhelmed, or severely lagging in my technological knowledge and experience, I believe social media (if used appropriately) allows us to do extraordinary things. As professionals we can create solid online presences that allow us to be easily sought out, and offer aesthetic displays to potential clients. I give social media a big “thumbs up”!
