Social Networking
Social media, professional networking sites, rapid-fire communications, blog sites, sharing sites, and personal websites are all useful technologies. Employees are expected to use good judgment as to what material makes its way online. Employees are expected to maintain a professional image with regards to information posted on these technologies. Often considered a casual and fleeting form of communication, the fact is that everything and anything an employee publishes in electronic media is potentially available to be read by everyone and such utterances can potentially be available forever. Inappropriate employee actions captured via images, posts, or comments can reflect poorly on the professionalism of the employee. Employees communicating with students through these technologies should do so with the utmost caution and for professional purposes only.
