Urgent Teacher Security Tip: Myspace

18 January 2008 2 Comments

It appears that a new site has appeared that allows anyone to see your photos, regardless of whether you have a private profile or not.

We won’t go into whether or not a teacher should have a Myspace account. The fact is that newer teachers grew up in the Myspace age, and they have them. So here is what you need to do in order to keep prying eyes off of your private pics.

1. From your main page, click Photos.
2. Click on an album
3. Click on options
4. Select Options
5. Mark as “Friends Only”.

Now you can be sure that you won’t have snoops lurking around your private photos, and your friends can still see them.
