Social Networks
The Internet is organizing around social networks like Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus, Linked-In, Twitter, etc. The minute something is “social” it means there are certain rules, regulations, agreements, rewards and consequences. There are also issues about privacy, the content you share (pics, music, thoughts, feelings, and opinions). Finally, social means anyone, anywhere can see what you are doing – yes…even people you don’t friend or invite.
In this module you will learn that you are not alone or invisible on the Internet. More than that, you will learn how to be visible in good ways by learning from the mistakes many kids make when using social networks on the Internet.
