  • There was a story in there about a poll that was published online about assassinating President Obama
  • MySpace has become inundated with “profiles” that lead to porn sites
  • your kids have full access to the application content, the graphic, sexually explicit language that I found posted to the application profile and the graphic photos, bordering on pornographic, that I saw on members’ profiles.

  • Facebook does have terms of service that prohibit this type of activity, photos and content, but the problem is that the network is so large it is nearly impossible to police the site.

      They have policies but many people break these rules. There is too many users to filter out every single violation or offense made to a policy. There is over a billion active Facebook accounts! How do they monitor all the accounts? They don't. They can't. So what do you do when your child visits Facebook or Instagram or Twitter and you can't monitor what they say, post or see.
  • While social network sites do have merit, they allow people from all over the world to connect.  Kids can connect with friends and family who live far away.  They can socialize and keep in touch with friends, share pictures, music and videos and play fun games. They can connect with the Smithsonian, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and many other wholesome organizations, businesses and individuals.  They have access to great, educational material.  They can learn, they can grow, they can see parts of the world and other cultures that they may never have a chance to see otherwise.

      Children don't know all the dangers of these websites and all the threats they aere exposed to on the internet. They don't realize when ads are viruses or frauds.

      This is the number while Parental Control isn't used very often, which only means that there is at least double the amount for children who access sites like these without Parental Control.

  • These sites can be appealing to child sexual predators, too: all that easy and immediate access to information on potential victims. Even worse, kids want to look cool, so they sometimes post suggestive photos of themselves on the sites.
  • 10 to 17 year olds revealed 46 percent admit to having given out their personal information to someone they did not know
  • a survey of 12 to 17 year olds revealed that 38 percent had posted self-created content such as photos, videos, artwork, or stories
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • 6 percent of 16 to 17 year olds most likely sharing personal information. 
  • hildren often don’t realize that they cannot “take back” the online text and images they post. They may not know that individuals with access to this information can save and forward these postings to an unlimited number of users. Kids also may not realize the potential ramifications of their online activities. They can face consequences for posting harmful, explicit, dangerous, or demeaning information online, including being humiliated in front of their families and peers, suspended from school, charged criminally, and denied employment or entry into schools.

      Once you post something, it;'s out there for everyone to see. Even if you delete it someone will take a snapshot or save what you posted. There is no going back. You have to accept to the consequences.

      Cyber bullying is another important issue in social media because you can't control what is posted on the internet. There is not many laws about this issue and kids are very affected by it because once the bully posts something about you, only they can delete it and chances are they won't.

      If parents care a lot about their child being safe, then they should teach them how to be safe on their accounts instead of not letting them have accounts at all. They should set the restrictions on the account so that it is private. Most networks have settings so that they can make the account private and/or have their accounts not come up when people search for them. There are certain measures that parents can easily go to to keep their child safe.
  • Great teachers and innovative educators are constantly looking for ways to make classrooms more positive and foster camaraderie among students. And many are finding that social networking is a great tool to turn to…even as early as the elementary school classroom! For many parents, encouraging early exposure to social media and networking sounds scary—and it is! But when it’s introduced in the classroom, students learn the “do’s” and “don’ts” from the beginning.

Teaching Toddlers to Tweet? Introducing Social Media to Elementary Students | Edutopia - 1 views

  • I agree that students should have recess and play outside. I agree that young children need to interact in a face-to-face setting. I agree that it is developmentally critical to engage with paper, paint, blocks, crayons and even the dirt on the ground, because elementary students need to experience the physical world.
  • However, I also agree that social media pervades all aspects of modern society, and it has become an imperative for us as educators -- and parents -- to model appropriate digital citizenship to even our youngest learners. Do I really believe that toddlers should have Twitter handles? Not really. But we do need to introduce children to the virtual, social world around them in appropriate and meaningful ways? Definitely.

  • There is some awful stuff out there, but it frustrates me when a panic distracts us from the reality of what’s going on. One of my frustrations is that there are some massive mental health issues, and we want to blame the technology [that brings them to light] instead of actually dealing with mental health issues.

      So the problem is purely ours. Since technology is so versatile, it fits into any situation making it a convenient excuse. We need to educate the parents and children instead of blaming something that is our fault on something we can't control.

  • Am I justified in cyberstalking my own son? A first crush is hard enough, but I am trying to protect him from the embarrassment that can come from exposing this personal experience online.
  • While it's our duty as parents to teach our kids responsibility with technology, how much can we interfere with their freedom of expression?
  • Steinberg says it's important that parents are educated about what's out there and are on top of their kids' online behavior without getting totally crazy. He says that parents can't just hand their kids digital devices and expect that they understand netiquette. But at the same time, parents need to respect boundaries.

      Very good point. "Am I justified in cyber stalking my son." Well if you are going to argue that doing things in a cyber-world should be treated the same as if they were in the real world, why say that cyber-stalking is any different than real stalking. As for protection, the parents should just discretely review issues on the internet.

    "Am I justified in cyberstalking my own son?" Well if you are going to argue that things and places in the cyber-realm are no different and just as dangerous as those in the real world, whats the difference between you cyberstalking and ACTUALLY stalking, heck you're already going through his messages. Personally, the kid probably knows about more sites and their features than you, he just may not be able to handle it all. So why dont you discretely review the dangers on the internet with him? Be an active part of his life help him be more responsible to where you can trust him to use these sites, not a shady overseer type of parent that he doesn't know about.
