Citizenship and sharing

We encourage our students to be good digital citizens.  How to be mindful of their digital footprint that they are making now and how this may be seen by others.  In a controlled environment we also encourage them and guide them to use some aspects of online  social media to collaborate with fellow students for assignments.

This SLV PLN program is encouraging and assisting Library professionals and others to gain the skills for becoming good digital citizens and helping them to develop confidence to use social media, both personally and professionally.

I have both twitter (@fpattison)  and facebook  (Fay SLV) accounts as a way of keeping in touch professionally with events and activities and changes that are occurring in libraries and use of technology in education and a whole range of other things.  Like many I tend to follow rather than actively participate in the various discussions.  Maybe this needs to change!

  1. I think it’s about confidence and as a bit of a lurker myself, I think you have to come to sharing in your own time and sometimes it’s about finding the right community and platform. You are always liking posts and taking part on Facebook posts and it’s just about putting something up yourself…
    You are definitely an important part of the TL community so you have a lot to share.
