Yet these are not places most people consider.

Thank goodness

Down with the whole MOOC movement for the time being.

Let's focus on making education more excellent in other ways and making sure that our students are enjoying their process.

Are colleges searching you online?

Not all of them. But the numbers are growing.

Just be aware. Think about social media as you might think about the rest of your choices in life: could this potentially harm me or someone else? Yes, don't do (or post) it. Otherwise, go ahead.

Too often, what we post on social media seems so far removed from what we really think or who we really are or, more importantly, what we would ever do or say to someone if we were face-to-face with them.
