We walk a fine line between being our true self and being our \"image\". Why? Do we need \"professional\" social media accounts and personal ones? What is our responsibility as educators online today? Let's talk!","Description":"How can educators be transparent when we are repetitively told to conform to a fictitious model of \"good\" constructed by society? For years we have encouraged educators to separate their personal and professional lives online. In a world where every search and online interaction is connected, it's becoming increasingly difficult to do. Should we even be doing it any more? Extending the conversation from the opening panel, how can educators be honestly and freely transparent today?\r\n\r\nMany argue we are creating fake images of ourselves that even we can't live up to. We share the good, the great, and the wonderful, but rarely the down and dirty process. In doing so, we create these mythical creatures of perfection and bliss. What we share and present online is so very far from the reality we live and breathe. As educators, we know students are always watching but does that deny us the right to be \"true\" online? What should (or shouldn't) we post online, and why?","Link":["http:\/\/www.bigpurplehat.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This could be done well using a dual Chalk Talk with opposing views on opposing sides of the room (wall mounted paper for each side).
