There are a great number of things that you must take into consideration when posting anything on the Internet. I know a lot of you are familiar with social networking sites and whatnot, but, there are a lot of different methods out there that you can follow to keep yourself and others safe. I ask you kindly to take this information seriously.
Are you aware that...
- if you have your Facebook page set up as "publicly searchable" that your page can be found on the Internet, and not JUST through Facebook itself?
- using location-sharing programs, through Facebook, Twitter, etc...where you may "check in" to places, you are leaking your exact location to whomever reads it?
- nothing is private online; if you post something it can travel far and fast and can be read by who knows who?
I have posted a link to an article about cyber safety. Why don't you expand on this idea and see if there are any other ways that you can think of to keep yourself safe?

Well said and touches on issues that many young people are not aware of or don't give enough thought to.
Learning has never been fun until ethics and compliance solutions came into the scene. Through this type of learning, many will really benefit from it and that we should know as well that having this kind of education requires certain self-discipline to make it a successful online education for an individual.
