Secure Social Networking - 4 views

  •  
    The article uses a friendly approach to help teens stay safe and for parents (adults) to understand how to change privacy settings. There is a series of videos (11) to help learn more about social networking and how to check yourself it something doesn't seem right. The article also demonstrates the use of protection your personal property from hackers and spammers.  I personally think the article does a great job using the friendly approach with teens, and using videos, and teens will click on a video than read an entire article.

Most sites include videos. I like the site as a first step to put one on the road to being saavy or literate on the web when using social networks.
