12. Kids keep parents in the dark Social networking sites are blocked at school – this happens outside of school. 3 out of 4 teens were bullied online over the last year (10/4/08). 1 in 10 told their parents or another adult. “need to learn to deal with it” “it’s just happening to me”

13. What is the School’s Role? Educate your teachers and yourself. Start early. Inform the students. Encourage common sense. Get the parents involved. Know the law or find someone who does. How is your acceptable use policy?

14. It’s the Parents’ Fault. Not.

15. Remember… No such thing as PRIVATE on the internet. “Delete” doesn’t really delete. Don’t do online what you won’t do in person. Use caution. Leave a digital footprint you can be proud of.

16. Is your name “Googlable?” …if you are Googling people who you might want to teach at your school, what are you doing to insure the kids in your classrooms are “Googled well” when they go for their own interviews? And I don’t just mean telling them NOT to post certain things online. I mean what are you doing to help students shape their online portfolios so that when their future employers or future mates run the search, what they find is not just a lack of negatives but a potential plethora of positives? Richardson, Will. “Making Kids ‘Gogglable.’” Weblogg-Ed. April 9, 2008. 20 June 2008.
