At least three components of this course will take place in public spaces, the course wiki, the course blog, and your personal blogs. There have been many cases where personal information or images posted internet have had negative consequences concerning the workplace (getting and keeping jobs) or interacting with other face to face communities.

People do Google you! People can find you if you post you rez hall address on Facebook.

For these reasons and your protection, I ask you to use a psuedonym for your public personae n this class. Think of it as a pen name.

So, when creating usernames, be sure to pick something that is traceable back to you. If you do decide to you use your real-name, then use only the first name.

{Note: I will make exceptions on a case by case basis.}

If for any reason you do not wish to participate in these components I ask you to speak with me to arrange a section swap.
