I read an article by Jeff Utech on the Thinking stick called Student information Online and what matters is that kids and students are being careful with the information that they put online. He talked about how to be safe while on the internet. He mentioned a couple things you should do like:
1. Do not post personal information
2. Do not use last names
3. Get permission for pictures
These are all very important to remember when online. If you post something like your adress or your phone number or even your name people can find you. It is always important to make sure that your information is secure and no one accept your friends, family, and people you know can reach it. Myspace stories have gotten on the news all the time about how weirdos get on there and find kids and stuff and it is horrible. I have a myspace page myself, and I made sure not to post any information about me that was true and I blocked my page so only my friends can access it. Everyone who has a myspace should do this as well, and same with facebook or anything like it. I like how safe schools are in having to log in and blocking websites and stuff, but sometimes I think they can be a little to cautious. They block a lot of good resource websites like youtube and a lot of the images on google too. It is very important to be safe though no matter if the website looks safe or not.
