The "Talking Angela" chain letter, which tells a scary but unsubstantiated security story about a popular game, is spreading again. There's a great comment, posted on our previous article about this ===> hoax <===, that we thought worth repeating here:
===> It's called parenting and more people need to try it. <===

Students live in an information saturated world. The most effective way to keep them safe and using the internet responsibly as a learning tool is to teach them how to be their own filters.

Figuring out how to improve family involvement in your classroom can be just as, if not more difficult than getting the students themselves engaged.

Parents across the world today need to have a new conversation with their kids. No, it’s not about behaving in class, not talking to strangers, or having sex. But in so many ways, it's just as important. It’s data permanence. How we can preserve our reputations in the digital era? It’s a conversation that will look very different in different parts of the world. In some places, kids will have to think twice before posting photos of teenage escapades, given how such photos may look to others in a professional environment even many years later. In other places, kids will have to be careful of posting any items that may “dishonor” them or their family in some way. In still other places, kids will have to think about whether what they post on sensitive political, ethnic, or religious issues may define them long after they have changed their views.

We have been having these types of important discussions with our students in digital literacy classes. What is interesting to note is that it becomes a parent piece that often schools have to provide to help them keep up with their children and the good, bad and the ugly of technology.

Data permanence must be addressed with ALL children, and well before the "sex talk"

New technologies have exposed behaviours of young people which have put their future success at risk. Are these new behaviours created by the opportunities that are provided by new technology? Or are these behaviours that would have been typical of young people even without the technologies they use as a vehicle to display them?

If kids can’t socialize, who should parents blame? Simple: They should blame themselves. Teenagers would love to socialize face-to-face with their friends. But adult society won’t let them.

Never post online (either by words or photos): Whom you are with.Where you are (or are going).What time you will arrive.If you feel like you are being repetitive in teaching your child these rules, treat that that “nagging” feeling as a good sign. It means you care and understand the weight of safety online and your child will be safer for it.

Bonnie and Scott do make some suggestions. Consider teenage drinking, for example, which is a form of sensation seeking and risk taking. It’s been argued that 18-year-olds should be permitted to drink, since they are considered old enough to go to war and assume other adult responsibilities. But the teenage brain is vulnerable to the effects of alcohol, and research has shown that the age at which teens start drinking—and the intensity of this drinking—are strong predictors of alcohol abuse and addiction later in life. These scientific insights argue for maintaining the 21-year-old drinking age, Bonnie and Scott say, and for intensifying efforts to keep teens from taking up drinking at all.
