In order to keep the Internet and web 2.0 tools safe for students, staff, and community, we have included a database to help you assemble and practice measures of safety in and out of the classroom. With so many new opportunities in the online learning environment, it is imperative that vigilance be kept to ensure the safety of all contributors.
Don't disclose personal information online (name, email address, postal address, phone number, photo, school address, etc).
Beware the addictive nature of social media and online activity-it's important to work productively and keep a balance in one's life outside of school.
Advise students to be wary of online fraud, spoof websites and scams, and to recognize marketing tactics targeting tweens and teens.
Start a discussion about social networks by asking what it means to "manage your online reputation." How does this also relate to what you text or IM?
