Social  Media  E1que>e  1.  Be  yourself.    2.  Think  before  you  post.  Your  likes,  comments,  and  

experiences  are  accessible  to  the  public  forever.    3.  Across  all  of  these  tools,  remember  to  LISTEN.  Repost  

content  that  is  relevant.    4.  Before  posIng  a  photo,  ask  for  permission.    5.  Check,  check,  and  check  the  link  one  last  Ime!  6.  Respond  to  comments,  quesIons.  No  one  likes  to  be  

ignored.    7.  Sharing  is  caring.  Cite  your  sources.    8.  You  cannot  thank  enough.
