You must use your EIU e-mail account to receive credit. Send the e-mails to both tfveach@eiu.edu and Lndipietro@eiu.edu for full credit. This assignment calls upon you to review your Facebook account. (If you are one of the two students in our class who do not have a Facebook account, please see the bottom of this assignment sheet for other options, or see us after class if those options don’t work for you.) Answer any or all of the following questions: Do you feel that Facebook is a safe internet environment? If so, why do you feel secure on Facebook? If not, what can you do to your profile to protect yourself? Look at it as if this was your resume. What does this say about you? What do your pictures tell a future employer about you? What groups are you in and do you think they are appropriate? Why or why not? What about mini-feed can make it unsafe for other people? Who can look at your profile? Anyone? Your friends? Friends of friends? (Check your privacy settings.) Do you think your current privacy settings could be a potential problem? Why/why not? Are you aware that judicial affairs and police officers are on Facebook and can look at your profile? How do you feel about this? Do you think it’s fair? If you got charged for a crime, such as underage drinking, because your Facebook profile tipped off the police, do you think that would be legitimate? Overall, do you feel that Facebook is a safe internet website? If you do not have a Facebook account: Review your Myspace account and all of the dimensions of Myspace OR If you don’t have Myspace, review MSN Messenger or AOL Instant Messenger and all of its elements. Please Note: We have already reviewed everyone’s profiles, so please be honest or we will not accept this assignment as credit.
