A short powerpoint about the effects poor social media presence can have on a pupil's progression onwards from school

1. The effects of social media on
progression

2. This work is the direct result of
the last TMHavering
Penny Patterson did a
presentation on Safer Internet
Day
Why?

3. There is a worry that the new
computing curriculum will force
out some non coding activities
& subjects. Therefore, some
topics need to be found other
slots in the curriculum
Destination Data – Effect on
school recruitment
Effect on pupil career path
Effect on emotional wellbeing
of pupils
Do pupils/parents/staff
understand what the school
social media policy means?
Why teachers need to be aware of the effects of social media activity

4. So how does social media have an effect?

5. You can and should supplement your
background checks with a web search. Since
anyone can enter anything they want on a
social network profile, doing a Google search
is not a source of trustworthy information
about a potential employee’s background.
However, the web search is a great
supplement to background checks because
you can obtain insight into who the person is
and what types of things they blog about or
write on their profiles.
