Where I work, I just completed an online ethics training course. It included do&#39;s and don&#39;t as it relates to all aspects of the work environment. It also included conduct and communications similar to what you mentioned in an online / electronic format. For the most part, it talked about you (employee) represent the organization. It went on to state the appropriate use of organization issued email accounts, computers, etc. The bottom line is that you represent the organization on and off the clock. As mathew stated, there are obvious things that are inappropriate to post online, but there is also an ethical line when it comes to what you share in Fb, etc. While I do believe that &quot;after hours&quot; social communities, twitter feeds, picture uploads etc. can and should be something that is the right of any individual or employee outside of the organization, I think it goes without saying that appropriate judgment with an eye for good ethics is something that all employees, teachers or otherwise should adhere to. It&#39;s almost like an acceptable use policy for posting on or off the clock. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.

I think this is the biggest problem. People don&#39;t realize how easy it is to find information posted online and are not aware that their postings are actually going to be seen.Mathewhttp://www.creatinglifelonglearners.comnoreply@blogger.com
