Social Network Identity 101: Lesson Plan

Updating a presentation on social networks for my first-year seminar is my focus this week.  In past years, Facebook has been the primary topic and I have posted about it here. This year I will add a top-10 list of online identity considerations from technology/online media guru Chris Pirillo.

1.   It goes on your permanent record. Forever.
2.   Be mindful of your privacy.
3.   Don’t trust implicitly.
4.   Own what you do.
5.   Engage. Leave comments.
6.   Be respectful, be respectable, and be respected.
7.   Be yourself.
8.   Watch out for flame wars and name calling.
9.   Learn how to communicate.
10. Remember that your future employer, spouse, and neighbors are all watching.

Do you discuss Social Network Identity with your students?

    Debra – Scott Silverman (UC Riverside / FY programs) and Tania Dudina (Hunter College / FY Faculty) are working together on some new curriculum in this direction.
    Tania is doing amazingly creative stuff – she has this whole mystery student that the students have to figure out using social tools – FB, Twitter, etc. – it’s pretty much genius.
    I’ll post the wiki for the curriculum here as soon as it is up. They would welcome your thoughts and experience as well!

    Tania shared her ideas inspiring me to ratchet this presentation up a notch. Our students will have an assignment to link with program alumni utilizing various media. It should be fun and the alums are excited! Thanks, Kevin.
