Almost everyone has multiple on-line accounts and services, probably going way beyond the necessary amount. It's often difficult to remember which password and user name goes with which service. An extra number in this password, an upper case letter for this username, a completely new password for Twitter because you've forgot and had to reset it 3 times last month. It can be nearly impossible to keep track of the information needed to use various on-line services. This is why it is so important to keep yourself organized on-line! It can save you a lot of time, energy and effort (not to mention the cost to replace whatever object you took your frustration out on) by taking the time to organize yourself on-line. It's also important to take initiative to keep yourself safe. The more often you have to change usernames or passwords, the more at-risk the security of your on-line life can be.
Whether you like to admit it or not, everyone has forgotten a password or two in their life. I am no different. To keep myself more organized on-line I try to keep all of the services I use as secure as possible. I do this by writing down passwords and usernames for various services and putting them in a secure place in my apartment. I do not share this type of information with anyone, just to be safe!
I think it's very important to teach students these skills, as they are growing up in a very technology-oriented world. They need to have the knowledge to be safe while using on-line services. We know that lives can be greatly affected by what we post or do on-line regardless of when we do so. Actions or words posted years ago can affect one's future. We want to prevent this as much as possible. By teaching students about on-line organization and safety, the better equip they will be to live in a world of technology!
In my classroom, I will most likely use Pinterest, Email, Google Communities, Blogs and many more. I am unsure how I feel about using Twitter in a classroom, something to think about...
