“Don't be surprised if a criminal compromises your or one of your colleague's personal social networking accounts to retrieve the E-mail addresses of some of your friends, and then uses that information to spoof an E-mail to you or your colleague at work. ”
Steven R. ChabinskyDeputy Assistant Director, Cyber DivisionFederal Bureau of Investigation in speech March 23, 2010
My pet peeve
Do you post on Twitter or Facebook where you are ... or plan to go
Foursquare’s business model
Facebook's "Places" Geo-tagging Service raising serious privacy concerns; Could show strangers where you are ... and your Kids
Keep it quiet and post later or turn off services like Facebook Places
What about the
separation of
workplace and
personal on-
line activities?
Password Security – don't share between work accounts and Social Media sites
Web Publishing – if you blog, have both a work blog and personal blog
Computer Use – do you keep the churches checkbook on your work machine, do you use a work email to send out mass mailings for "non-official" use
Relationships with vendors – don't use for personal gain
Student-Teacher-Coaches Relations On-line◦ Should you "friend" students on Facebook
◦ Use online classrooms on sites such as Blackboard or forums within a school district’s website rather than public SM sites
◦ Follow policy from Administration or School Board
◦ Create Friend Lists, then customize privacy levels for different information and content you include on your Profile. See Back to School: Tips for Teachers on Facebook (Sept 2009)

help to protect
children and
young adults?
