Some things haven’t changed…

We are redefining personal and professional identities with the use of new technologies.

We still search for social connections and validation.

Youth still explore and experiment with risky behavior.

Broad context

What has changed is the fact that there could very well be a permanent record of all of this, one with implications that

can't be predicted or controlled. Common Sense Media

Digital citizenship

http://whatsyourstory.trendmicro.com/internet-safety/Video.do?ident=where-are-you-

Questions for kids to ask themselves: Why do I use social media? Who is my audience? What messages do I send about myself and others? Do I participate in inappropriate messaging or comment on

others’ inappropriate messages? Do I make fun of others? How can I be a role model to others? Who is my audience? Who else may be collecting information about me? What are the consequences if I make poor decisions online?
