Online Management

Posted on | by

 

Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook are undoubtedly dominating the world of online social networking, and the willingness of many users to self-disclose personal information ranging from moods to religious affiliation, relationship status, and personal contact information has led to an increase in privacy concerns. They offer convenient opportunities to stay in touch with friends, family, and coworkers, but are people using them responsibly? Some argue that there are fundamental differences between today’s digital natives, whose private and public selves are intertwined through these technologies, and older generations (Kornblum, 2007).

Even though some colleges are offering seminars on managing privacy online, we still hear stories of self-disclosure gone wrong, such as the football player from the University of Texas who was kicked off the team in 2008 for posting racist comments about Barrack Obama after he was elected the President. However, social media experts say cases like this are rare and that most students are aware of who can see what they are posting and the potential consequences (Nealy, 2009). The issue of privacy management on Instagram and Twitter is affecting many relationships including family, friends, and schoolmates, and work colleagues.

address the following using the headings given. Write a paragraph response for each question.

Online Management
How do you manage your privacy and self-disclosures online?
Do you think it is ethical for school officials or potential employers to make admission or hiring decisions based on what they can learn about you online? Why or why not?
PowerPoint Process
What was helpful to you during the process of organizing the PowerPoint presentation?
What did you find constructive in the process of designing the PowerPoint slides?
What was instructive regarding the process of taking your notes and turning them into a lesson you taught to the class using the PowerPoint?

Safety is the number one priority in every school. Safety comes before learning can even begin to take place. With this in mind, every school has a ‘School Safety Plan’ and/or a ‘Crisis Management Plan.’ However, some of these plans haven’t been changed in a long time and/or updated with the most current emergencies in mind (think about COVID-19). Some schools may have them updated but haven’t provided essential training to inform ALL staff of procedures.

• In list format, identify three things you learned about a Crisis Management Plan.
• In list format, name two things that surprised you about a Crisis Management Plan.
• In at least 100 words, summarize your thoughts regarding what you learned, what surprised you, and why.
• Finally, in at least 300 words, reflect on your experience or what you would want to ensure in a school at which you would teach. How would you apply this knowledge to your safety and student safety? What recommendations would you make to your school leadership?
Review the Crisis Management and School Safety Grading Rubric before submitting. The total length of your paper must be at least 400 words.
