Private Today, Public Tomorrow"There's a lot of talk about privacy. But what is it, really? There are two key components of privacy that affect you and your kids: consumer privacy and personal privacy. Consumer privacy relates to the data that companies can collect about you. Personal privacy refers to your online reputation. In today's world, where sharing is becoming the norm, it's crucial for kids to understand the importance of sharing appropriately. Everything kids say or do online can affect their reputation.

Digital life is very public and often permanent. If kids don't protect their personal information, what they do online will create a digital footprint that wanders and persists. Something that happens on the spur of the moment -- a funny picture, a certain post -- can resurface years later. And if kids aren't careful, their reputation can get away from them, and third parties -- like marketers or potential employers -- can access what kids thought was private information. Privacy settings help – but they aren't failsafe. Plus, companies sometimes change their privacy policies, which may mean you need to update your settings." http://www.commonsensemedia.org/advice-for-parents/parents-guide-to-protecting-kids-privacy-online

Lead by example...

"When students see adults using technologies inappropriately, they can assume it is the norm. This leads to inappropriate technology behavior on the part of students." http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/uploads/1stLL.pdf

Make expectations clear & visible...

Talk about and sign the Parent Pledge and Kids' Pledge...then post them near your internet-capable devices, or better yet, create your own as a family. http://www.digitalcitizenship.net

Keep internet-capable devices in central, view-able location...

"Keep the computer in a common room in the house, not in your child’s bedroom. It is much more difficult for a computer-sex offender to communicate with a child when the computer screen is visible to a parent or another member of the household." http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/parent-guide

Sexting & Relationships
What is Sexting?
"Very simply, sexting is a play on the term “texting” and is applied to the action of sending semi-nude or nude photos to others on a cell phone, or posting these types of pictures online." http://www.homeword.com/sexting-kids-risk-ta-a-1527.html

How frequently is sexting taking place? Is this really a problem?
"Juvenile sexting is increasing in frequency. A recent study found that 20 percent of teenagers (22 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys) sent naked or seminude images of themselves or posted them online. Another survey indicated that nearly one in six teens between the ages of 12 and 17 who own cell phones have received naked or nearly nude pictures via text message from someone they know. Many disturbing examples of such behavior exist. For instance, two 15-year-olds, a male and a female, were sentenced in juvenile court for possessing and sending nude photos on their cell phones; the girl sent a picture of herself to the boy, and another image allegedly was taken on his camera. A 15-year-old boy received 12 months of probation for forwarding a picture of his private parts to a 13-year-old girl’s cell phone. An 18-year-old high school graduate committed suicide after a nude photo she had transmitted via her cell phone to her boyfriend also was sent to hundreds of teenagers in her school. Other students, who apparently continued to forward the image, allegedly harassed the girl." http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/law-enforcement-bulletin/july-2010/sexting
Why do Kids Sext?
"The dynamics at play when teens sext are varied. Many factors in any combination such as a need for attention, the desire to be recognized, peer-pressure, flirtation, new teen dating rituals, proof of commitment in a relationship, raging hormones, following the example of noted teen celebrities, adolescent risk-taking, and immaturity can be involved in a teen’s decision to sext.
A 2012 study of high school students that was published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior found that kids who were aware of possible legal consequences of sexting were actually more likely to have sexted someone than those who weren’t aware. Donald Strassberg, the lead author of the study suggests that it is possible that some kids see sexting as attractive simply because there is risk involved – because risk-taking is a part of the adolescent mindset." http://www.homeword.com/sexting-kids-risk-ta-a-1527.html

Copy-Rights & Wrongs
What is Plagiarism and Piracy?
"New technologies make it easy for people to download and use creative work, in many different ways, such as movies, music, articles, books, and art. But in a fast-paced online culture, it’s easy to forget about copyright law, which brings up two important issues: plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarism means using someone else’s ideas or words without crediting the source and pretending they’re your own. Piracy is the unauthorized use, reproduction, or sharing of copyrighted or patented material – typically music, movies, TV shows, and software." http://www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/default/files/9-12-familytip-plagiarismandpiracy.pdf
