My Suggestions Make a professional page separate
from your personal page Don’t “friend” students or parents
on your personal page Don’t let yourself be depicted
behaving unprofessionally Ask: will this affect me at work?
Privacy Settings Set your profile as “private” Only let “friends” see pics Turn off geo-tags Friend Facebook on Facebook
Using School Computers
