Optimization or Disinhibition?

Choose one of the following options for this week's blog. Feel free to put your own personal spin on it. (Think about your general theme from last week's blog, but remember we are trying to keep it lined up with what we've been talking about in class too!) Blog posts are due by 5PM on Friday!

Option 1: Last week, you read Su's suggestions about emails, and you read K+F's tips for profile optimization. While these two things are a bit different, combine the two topics in terms of representing yourself professionally in an online space. What would you call your top 10 tips for presenting a professional image online, especially as college students? (Think Letterman's top 10 style!) Include at least one photo along with your Top 10 List.

Option 2: Sometimes we say and do things online that we would never say or do "in real life." Reflect on a time that you noticed the online disinhibition effect totally happening in one of your online encounters. Do you feel like it was toxic, benign, or a mixture of both? Relate your response to Suler's reading (Thursday, September 7). If you had to do it over again, what would you do?
