Facebook • Name came from the actual books handed
out at college with pictures of incoming freshmen; site started out as a service for college students only – “Friend” your kids – Review your kids’ profile pages – Review who is “friends” with your kids – Select “Info” for your kids – Look for your kids in pictures, ‘tagged’ by
others

Make a Post available to a Friend List

General cautions • Ensure settings are set to Private -
nevertheless, personal information is available to anyone you are connected to
• “going on vacation” posting could make your home vulnerable while you’re gone
• College and professional recruiters absolutely look at online profiles to make hiring/acceptance decisions

General Cautions (cont’d)
• “Friends of Friends” – multiply your child’s number of friends by itself – that’s how many people have access
• Be careful of photos that could send the wrong message
• NOTHING is ever permanently deleted on the web
