online identities, personal branding, social media

“Construct, manage and engage your professional identity”

I found especially useful to store and share resumes online

LinkedIn

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

Follow your interests and stay connected

Although I was reluctant to join at first, it is a great professional tool to share information

“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

Learning from Mental health Professionals & organizations

Wonder how MH professionals manage their countless profiles? This is how…

Social media management tools

Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, Threadsy and more!

I’m overwhelmed!

Gather and organize information into categories or interests

I prefer to use Pinterest to curate my crafting, recipes and professional interests

Create professional websitesSimple or complexDo so independently or hire

a professional

Construct, fortify and manage an online presence to be easily available and stay marketable

Websites & domain names

I bookmarked each “how to” site for future reference- great material!

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

Making A Difference Goals & Strategies

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”!
