Safer Online. Why You Should Delete SnapChat. I’ve been engaged in various forms of social media since AOL chat rooms in 1994.

Why You Should Delete SnapChat

And I’ve never seen a more dangerous application targeting teenagers, specifically girls, than SnapChat. The premise of SnapChat is simple. You take a picture, send it to a friend, and they can only see it for up to 10 seconds before it’s deleted. And that’s where the lie begins. I want to be blunt. In my book, A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Social Media, I share three rules about social media which lead me to the conclusion that SnapChat isn’t to be trusted: Rule #1 – Everything posted online is public I wrote about this in depth here. The central premise of SnapChat is that what you are sending is private. The same is true of anywhere you post something online. Rule #2 – There’s no such thing as anonymity online, only perceived anonymity.

Any time your device connects to the internet it associates 100% of your activity with your device. Pure and simple. But that’s not how the internet works at all. Yup. Internet safety for teens.

Resources. Power to Learn - Internet Smarts. 17 Cartoon Videos Explaining the Internet and Internet Safety to Kids. Ten social media commandments for kids & parents. Remember when we were kids and our parents sat us down to discuss the birds and the bees?

Ten social media commandments for kids & parents

(Yea, neither do I but we will talk about that later….) As parents we are told we should talk with our kids about difficult topics like alcohol, drugs, sex and pornography. Today’s generation has a new topic to add to the list. Social Media. Since the launch of MySpace in 2003 – and subsequently Facebook in 2004 – social media has exploded and many parents are finding it hard to keep up. Talk to your kids about Social Media. These are main points to keep in mind.

Your Password is Obsolete. 17 Cartoon Videos Explaining the Internet and Internet Safety to Kids. Digital Education - EverFi. - Get to Know "Google: Good to Know" 0 Comments November 25, 2012 By: Bob Sprankle Nov 24 Written by: 11/24/2012 4:55 PM ShareThis Here's a great little gem I learned about recently: Google's "Good to Know" page.

- Get to Know "Google: Good to Know"

Though "Family Safety Center" is a "subcategory" on the page, it is a "goldmine" of useful information. However, the section I appreciate the most on this page is the "More Resources" section. No resource page would be complete without Common Sense Media (in my opinion) and it's included with plenty of other great sites. So, get to know Google's "Good to Know" page; it offers an entire curriculum for students across the grade spectrum, and is an excellent resource for staff and parent training.
