Would you say that to my face?

All the "flame throwers" and anonymous posters should attend this symposium Choose Civility Symposium WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO MY FACE? And Other Questions of Online Citizenship October 8, 2015

Join us as we explore what it means to be a good digital citizen and what impact our online presence has on our off-line reputation. How and why do our online and offline personas differ? Could our online personas benefit from more deliberate thought about how we portray ourselves and interact with others? What role, if any, should civility play in our online personas?   Learn how social media users of all ages can cultivate and demonstrate digital civility, appropriate communication, and personal responsibility when using social media platforms.   NPR’s Korva Coleman moderates a panel of national experts, including Tech Parenting expert Denise Lisi DeRosa; Towson University Professor Andrew Reiner; and Mike Ribble, Digital Citizenship expert.
