Hi Bethany and all,

Your point about keeping the personal and professional information separate without having separate accounts is a very important one. I have opted for the multiple account approach but it occurs to me now that perhaps as part of using Facebook and other social networking sights, there should be a focus on how to use privacy settings and manage ones private information. There is an interesting website that looks at digital citizenship http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/ and issues around privacy are included throughout their nine elements of digital citizenship.

This is also a reminder that you can sign up for small groups on specific topics as an extension of this week's discussion, including one on Facebook. Go to this link http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/tech-pd-smgroups to sign up for one of the small groups today.

Best,
