Everything you write is a
permanent record of your
professionalism.
Sister St. Catherine
My 6th grade teacher at St. Kevin’s School

56. Social Media Thought #2
Consider maintaining separate
professional and personal sites
with strict limits on personal
information being made available
to parents and students.

57. Social Media Thought #3
Check personal sites regularly if
the public has access to them.
Even if you don't post
inappropriate material, that
doesn't mean your friends won't.

58. Social Media Thought #4
Have a collective discussion
as a district/campus to consider
the implications of social media
and settle on best practices.

59. Social Media Thought #5
Think before you post.
If you’re wondering
“should I post this?” ...
you probably shouldn’t!
The world is your audience.
