Your Online Image #1
You've discussed in your Keynote presentations about how important it is for you to be very careful when you're online.
- be careful with your personal information
- be careful about what you say about others
- be careful about language, images, etc
- be careful about secrets, embarrassing or other personal info about others
Things that you post on line can also be damaging to your reputation - now, or in the future.
We're going to handle the blog differently the next couple of weeks. You will be presented with different scenarios, that involve online social networking. Respond to the question(s) asked. Give your answer some thought.
First Scenario:
You are finally old enough to join a social networking site and set up your own profile. You spend a lot of time adding pictures and connecting with things that you "like", and you have links to many friends. Your mom makes her own profile and asks you to be her “friend.” What do you think about that? Explain your thinking.
I'd add my mom Instagram. Why Not. I only post pictures of my dogs and memes.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy dogs and memes as well my fellow Scholar
DeleteBut, maybe some people don't like the idea of there moms name on there instagram.
DeleteI have my grandma on instagram and she doesn't even look at it so i don't care
ReplyDeleteMy grandma can't figure out how to use google search, so thats long ways off.
DeleteMaybe she does look at your stuff you just dont know it jack, ever think about that?
DeleteMy grandma doesn't know what the internet is, so like a wise man once said, so that's a long way off
DeleteI have all my family members on Facebook but I don't use it anymore.
DeleteMy grandma's dead so she REALLY doesn't know what instagram or facebook is
DeleteMy grandma is basically on everything but doesn't add me.
DeleteI dont let my parents follow me an any of my accounts i think its a terible idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree my personal stuff is non of my parents business
DeleteYou are their kid though, it keeps them updated i guess.
DeleteI agree, I wish I didn't have to add my parents on anything, but they kinda force me to be friends with them and let them follow me.
DeleteI agree it is a terrible idea my parents don't need to see any of my personal stuff
DeleteBut like Lindsay said, you are still their kid and you have to abide by their rules until adulthood. I think by letting them follow what you post and say makes them trust you more as their child. Not just on social media but for other subjects too.
DeleteI don't entirely think its a good idea to have your parents as friends but if they wanted to be friends i'd still add them because they have the ability to take away my accounts and I also don't have any thing to hide from them.
DeleteIf you're posting things you wouldn't want your parents to see then you shouldn't be posting that stuff in the first place. And to say that your personal information is none of their business is mind blowing, you are their child and still under 18, what you do IS their business.
DeleteIf I had to accept it I wouldn't be scared or anything, but I don't have my mom on my social medias, just for the fact it's our way to communicate with friends.
ReplyDeleteI just think its a good way for them to keep up with you.
DeleteI agree with that, it's good for them to know things because you could be in danger with something without realizing it.
DeleteI agree, Like no one should be scared to have a family member on social media.
DeleteI agree, you should not have to be afraid of adding your parents because you shouldn't be posting things you don't want them to see
DeleteI had my father on facebook but he deleted it, otherwise I think its a good idea. It keeps them updated on how you are and what your doing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this, I also have my mom on facebook she doesn't have the other apps
DeleteI somewhat agree, if they wanted tabs on you, why couldn't they just ask you.
DeleteI agree with you because if you have a social media account and your friends with your parents then they be updated on how you are.
DeleteIf I came of age to have my own account I would accept my mom's friend request on it because I have nothing to hide from her. If you don't want to add your mom on you account because you don't want her to see anything you post or you are embarrassed maybe you should think about what you post. I trust my mom and my mom should trust me to be responsible on my account and social media.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you shouldn't be posting things that you wouldn't show your mom, if that's the case then maybe you should think about what you're posting
DeleteI agree, my mom respects me on social media and knows that I am responsible for what I post.
DeleteIf I came to age to have my own account I would accept my moms friend request because I don't really post anything.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hunter, i don't really post anything on my account as it is so i really don't care if they follow me or not, and the other my my parents don't know how to work so they don't follow me on them.
DeleteI don't care, let your mom do that, if your mom sees your account for anything and gets mad, then maybe you shouldn't have it. Or to stop posting stuff that might make her mad, like a wise man once said, just post pictures of your dog and memes
ReplyDeleteI agree with this mostly because you use some good points.
DeleteI agree with Cal 100%, just don't post anything stupid.
DeleteI agree if you think they will be mad at you for posting it then dont.
DeleteI let my parents follow my social media because other wise I probably wouldn't be allowed to have them. I just watch what I post.
ReplyDeleteAdd your mom why not, if your posting bad stuff
ReplyDeletethen why post it?
I think as long as you don't post anything stupid and ridiculous on your profile, you should have nothing to worry about, about making your mom or parent your friend on facebook or any other app. Plus i don't post anything bad on social media because i know my parents can see it so i choose not to. I was perfectly fine making my parents my friends on social media.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. If you don't post stupid stuff you should be fine.
DeleteI agree, having my parents on social media isn't a problem for me because I have nothing to hide from them. I believe that if you are worried about your parents seeing your post and social media accounts then maybe you should think about what your posting.
DeleteI also agree, i dont do anything bad that i would need to hide from my parents.
DeleteI agree, if you don't post anything bad you would be fine
DeleteI agree, you shouldn't have a problem with adding your parents as a friend unless you have something to hide. I think most people don't mind adding their parents.
DeleteHonestly, I don't really care if people post things about me or of me.
ReplyDeleteI don't have my parents on any of my social media accts. I would not be afraid for my parents to see or if they asked to see any of m accounts. If my parents did have social media accts. i would allow them to fallow me.
ReplyDeleteI don't have my parents on social media, I don't even have family on anything. If they did add me on anything it would have to depend on what it is to see if I would accept them.
ReplyDeleteI have my mom on snapchat, instagram and facebook. I don't post anything that I wouldn't want her to see so I have no problem adding her. If you don't want your parents to follow you because of what you post than maybe you shouldn't post that in the first place. They are your parents and they have the right to see what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteI won't mind adding my parents on social media. There isn't anything I wouldn't want them to see. I know my parents like to see what I'm up to and I don't mind if they see it either way. I understand how it could seem invasive to have your parents as a friend on facebook, but there's really no harm.
