Everyone knows the old adage, “Think before you speak.” It’s what we tell kids when they blurt things out before thinking through how their words may affect others. Well, these past few days, we learned a new saying in our Laptop Boot Camp, “Think before you post.”
In RLA, we are kick starting our blogs. The main part of our blog, the post, is where we explain what we’re experiencing or what’s on our minds. The thing is, we need to think carefully before we “post.” After all, we are publishing to the entire world. First off, whenever we post, we need to honor the core values: honesty, compassion, respect, responsibility and fairness. At the same time, we shouldn’t reveal any personal information. Finally, when we add images and videos, we need to respect copyright rules and cite where we found them.
Listen, I know it’s a lot to remember, but it is important. We don’t want our ideas to insult our reader, we want them to inspire. Don’t you agree?
