= Workshop: Building and Maintaining Professional and Positive Online Presence for Teachers and Learners =

**Is Your Online Presence Positive?** Participants will identify and list strategies to help create presence online to advance their opportunities for future employment and social networking, while understanding privacy and safety issues. They will create and develop profile on LinkedIn and connect with others. They will examine Facebook features such as lists, messages vs. posts, profiles, groups and pages, as well as privacy settings and safety resources.

Steps for Creating Positive Presence Online

 * Post positive information on sites that will show up on the first 1-2 pages of a Web search (Facebook, Amazon, online photo albums, online video-sharing services)
 * Create a blog, twitter account, and/or LinkedIn profile with positive information about yourself
 * Post and comment positive content on Web sites related to your career and personal interests, for example positive product and book reviews on Amazon
 * Create a professional e-mail address for the purposes of job search and positive public presence (you can forward it to the e-mail you use the most)
 * Limit the contact information you list online (e-mail address and phone number are enough)

=== Social Networking Web Sites Useful for Learning, Job Search and Professional Presence ===
 * LinkedIn - []
 * Twitter - [] - [|http://twitter.com/#!/otan]
 * Facebook - []
 * Google+ - [|http://plus.google.com]
 * Blogging platforms: Blogger, Wordpress, Posterous

Steps for Removing Any Negative Presence Online

 * Google yourself to see what results come up (do the same for other popular search engines like Yahoo and Bing) – use your full name, any nicknames or ‘handles’ you use, and your e-mail accounts

=== Create an alert for when new info about you is posted online ===
 * Look at Image Searches for pictures of you
 * If negative results come up, take action
 * Contact Web site owners to take down the information
 * Request removal of cached pages from the search provider if necessary (cached pages are snapshots of Web sites that are stored on search providers’ servers- under their privacy link, there will be info about how to request removal)
 * []

=== Find and Modify Safety and Privacy Settings on Social Networking Web Sites ===
 * Every social networking Web site will have settings somewhere under your profile where you can modify privacy or even delete it.

Practice time

 * Log into LinkedIn [after creating an account]
 * Work on your profile and resume
 * Connect with others
 * Log into Facebook
 * Check your privacy settings for posts and photo albums
 * Interact with others withing the TIMAC group on FB
