I know if an employer asked you to show your Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook accounts that all of you would be happy to open it up and show all the pics associated with your name. Being proud of who you are on line and what images represent you is what you strive for. Putting up inappropriate postings or pictures that might hurt your future in terms of getting employment or getting into your post secondary institution of choice, is something you need to be aware of! Being "private" on line is something you need to be educated on! __**<span style="color: #010134; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Things to think about when it comes to Social Media **__ <span style="color: #010134; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"> media type="custom" key="24803506" media type="custom" key="24803516"

To start this process we will be creating a wiki space for you to use. How to do that? media type="file" key="Portfolio_-_Creating_a_Portfolio_[www.keepvid.com].mp4" width="300" height="300"
 * Go to www.wikispaces.com and create an account. Please use a consistent password and username. Nothing more frustrating than you saying "I can't remember my password!".
 * Choose a wiki name that is appropriate to share with an employer. This is a portfolio that you could use for applications for university/SIAST so make sure it is an adult like choice vs. childish name choice.
 * Let Ms. Rowe know what the name is so she can get it verified by wiki.
 * Create, create, create your on-line space (using the guidelines provided by Ms. Rowe)
 * Keep your portfolio updated regularly or it will cause you A LOT of work in the end. Remember you want this to be something that represents who you are as a person. First impressions take 10 seconds (some of you have met me for the first time and have already made judgement of me and this course, your potential employers do the same thing).
