don’t know- beware of viruses & “phishing”

BREAK

Let’s take a 5-10 minute break!

Managing Distractions

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 do these represent to you?

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?

“Drunken Pirate”

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

How do you decide what’s okay to post or tag?

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

Anything here potentially damaging?
