To proceed with getting connected on professional networking sites, one should Define, Clarify, Discover and Decide. Perhaps identify which site(s) works best for their purpose and utilize the tools of each to reach out to their potential audience. #EDST1160

@NatalieWaterst2 Your online social presence could definitely enhance future employment possibilities by way of keeping a positive reputation (no inappropriate posts, positive vs. negative content, branding yourself) and staying in touch with those that may help with future prospects! #EDST1160U

@AndeJacqueline I use it to maintain relationships, but social media is a fantastic way to access and spread info to the masses instantaneously. I do think people should be careful about the information they absorb though, and be sure to reach out to more than one source. #EDST1160U

@Ieva59235001 For sure! Your online presence is a constant reflection of your ideas, opinions, personal information, etc. and being attentive of how you portray yourself online is important when looking to make connections as a professional in your field.

@RParathan For sure. Online, you can block out your name but you can't block out your emotions/reactions to what you experience while surfing the web. Misinformation spreads fast and can affect how families, friends and communities interact in real life (politics is a good example)
