Setting the Access Level for Your Information and Posts

Note that one of the great features of TeacherPlaces is that you can set an access level for virtually everything that you write. Below each text box you will see a drop-down menu which allows you to decide who can access or "see" what you've written. You can select "Private" for those items that you want to capture at TeacherPlaces but you want to keep to yourself. If you choose "Private," only you can see the item, whether it is your telephone number, email address, or your list of personal likes and dislikes.

On the other hand, if you select "Public," then any visitor to TeacherPlaces will be able to view what you wrote. When visitors come to the home page, for example, and click on "see what others are syaing right now," your post to your blog will be visible to them if it is "Public."

Finally, you can allow access to your information or posts to only those logged-in members of TeacherPlaces, or to members of a community that you belong to.

By coding different information differently, you can control at a very "granular" level who has access. You may want everyone to see some things you write, and you may want to keep others private until you are ready to share. The option is all yours!
