We talk a lot with our students about how they present themselves online. But what about us? Family Online Safety Institute created a checklist to help adults stay safe online. Below are some additional resources to help in cleaning up your digital footprint.Check your Passwords

Check your Privacy Settings
Quick links to privacy settings information for popular sites and tools:

Remember that privacy does not exist on the internet, even "private" accounts. Also remember that just because a post or image is deleted does not mean that it is really gone forever. I recommend reading FastCompany's article "How to Avoid Social Media Regret" which includes some great tips for ensuring your online presence reflects your offline professionalism.
