What is SnapChat? Hopefully, You’ve Already Downloaded the App If you have a smartphone, download the free app now. SnapChat is a visual social media platform that allows users to take photos and send them to other users of the service. Once the photo has been seen, it disappears after ten seconds. Teens find this social media tool much more private than sharing via sites like facebook, tumblr, or even instagram. But just how private is it?

SnapChat is SnapChat is . . . Instantly send photos and recorded videos known as “snaps.” Can only be viewed for a designated time (between 1-10 seconds) Can never be viewed again* Gives the feeling on “impermanence” *Screenshots of the images can be made, causing devastating results.

SnapChat and Cyberbulling It can happen 24/7 Instead of a few participants, countless individuals may be involved. Examples: Snaps are taken in locker rooms Images with words designed to hurt Messages, meant to be confidential, become public. Although it can’t be known how many pictures sent via SnapChat are actual of a sexual nature, there are certainly some real cases that have come up. And cyberbullying is still very applicable. These are some of the more common ways that cyberbullying occurs via snapchat. But how is that possible if the image disappears after 10 seconds? Photo by Wen Tong Neo, via Flickr

SnapChat and Sexting The sending or receiving of sexually explicit images or videos Often meant for romantic partners or love interests Consequences: Can find their way into the hands of others Sent to an unlimited number of contacts Loss of career and reputation.

Children’s Internet Protection Act “The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was enacted by Congress in 2000 to address concerns about children’s access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet. CIPA imposes certain requirements on schools or libraries that receive discounts for Internet access or internal connections through the E-rate program – a program that makes certain communications services and products more affordable for eligible schools and libraries.” Schools that receive discounts offered by the E-rate program are required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) to provide education to “minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response.” Reference: retrieved from http://www.fcc.gov/guides/childrens-internet-protection-act CIPA was enacted into congress in 2000 as a way to ensure that juveniles were not exposed to obscene, pornographic, or harmful images/words. As a result, organizations such as schools and libraries receive funding from the government to cover the cost of communication services such as the internet. As a result, schools are required to instruct students about appropriate online behavior. This requires educators to stay ahead of the curve in terms of social media. As teens flee Facebook for fear of not being able to get a job in the future because of what they’ve posted, apps such as SnapChat have become places of refuge. But teens should not be misled into false security. Photo by woodleywonderworks, via Flickr. Modifications made to original

What Can We Do As Educators? https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Curriculum-and-Instruction/Pages/Bullying-Prevention-Toolkit.aspx http://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/curriculum/cyberbullying/NSBA/ http://www.commonsensemedia.org/videos/allys-story-second-thoughts-on-sexting By now, you should have received a snap of a photo that is not you. The picture is of one of our classmates. Although the image disappeared, Snapchat is not able to control how the recipient uses the photo. In this case, we were able to take a screen shot of the photo and share it with others. So what can we do as educators, to ensure our students are aware of the security failures of SnapChat and promote positive digital citizenship. These websites have great teaching resources that you can use.
