3. LINKEDIN
โข Discovered new possibilities for connecting with
friends, colleagues, peers and various professionals
through this channel
โข Loved the discussion forums, especially those related
to current mental health issues, especially ACA,
ORCA and many others
โข My linkedin profile:

4. ONLINE PRIVACY
โข There is no such thing as privacy anymore
โข Remember your dear sweet granny: if you donโt
want her to see it, donโt post it - it will never go
away
โข Potential employers WILL check your online profile
-keep it professional!
โข This article was quite thought-provoking for me:

6. GOOGLE PLUS (G+)
โข Loved the google alerts - allows me to learn more
about topics I am passionate about

to say about various topics and passions in their lives
โข My G+ account:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/?tab=mX#10481930547122
7. PROFESSIONAL FACEBOOK PAGES
โข Originally, I did not see Facebook as a place for
professionals to post and advertise themselves
โข I could see eventually using it if I had a private
practice, but will keep it personal for now since I use
that to connect with family and friends
โข This article from Julie Hanks opened my eyes about
facebook in the professional world:

8. LEARNING FROM MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS & ORGANIZATIONS
โข Julie Hanks, LCSW, by far was my favorite; she really
is the go-to girl for online identity in the world of
mental health: http://www.juliehanks.com/
โข Other professional groups were helpful in answering
my questions and concerns about s entering the
mental health profession

and videos on topics I was curious about:

โข It is interesting to see the different ways professionals
use their blogs to help clients, or potential clients for
that matter, but by far blogger is my favorite!

11. MANAGING YOUR ONLINE IDENTITY
โข This can take a lot of time each day, but you will
see the benefits to keeping up with your identity-
same as anything else you maintain
โข Hootsuite is my favorite for pulling everything
together in one place; makes it much easier! I have
not used it to its full potential, but Iโm still learning
the ropes ๏
12. WEBSITES & DOMAIN NAMES
โข I was not aware of all of the intricacies involved in
setting up a website and domain name-who knew?
โข I think what I have learned from this topic will help
prepare me down the road when I want to create
a professional website for my potential clients
13. HAVING AN IMPACT
โข The Internet has become the medium for people
interact with one another on a daily basis
โข Topics such as autism awareness, animal cruelty
and violence throughout the world have become
more prevalent thanks to peopleโs initiative to get
the information out there
โข This article helped me appreciate what the internet
can do for the world:

14. GOALS & STRATEGIES
โข Be professional
โข Bring awareness to topics you are passionate
about-you never know what you might start
โข Keep it simple, but informative
โข What we put out there ripples out to others in the
world-whether we see it immediately or down the
road
15. SLIDESHARE
โข Had no idea this existed before this class; I had
heard of other webistes like this, but not this one
specifically
โข Loved the presentations โEverything you need to
know about the teen brainโ:

16. FINAL THOUGHTS
โข I found this class to be thought provoking and
insightful
โข Appreciated the discussion forums each week and
learning from others in the class
โข These skills and tools will be a resource to me as I
continue through this program and into the
professional world
โข I have secretly become a twitter junkie ;-)
Editor's Notes
Any way to shorten the first bullet or make it more โactionโ like? Also, is there supposed to be the hashtag before the link in the 3 rd bullet?
