8. All of the information online about a person
either posted by that person or others,
intentionally or unintentionally
The question becomes, this. Do you want to
deliberately be aware of and control what you
stand for online or do you want that to be left
to others?

9. YouTube remains the No. 1 online video site,
according to Nielsen Online.
24 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every
minute (YouTube, 2010).
Kids are supposed to be 13 years old to use YouTube.
YouTube is a great place to showcase creativity.
Use Safety Mode. At the bottom of every YouTube
page, you can check a box that filters your search
results. When Safety Mode is on, you’ll get fewer
inappropriate results when you search for videos.

Must be 13 to have an account
Facebook provides extra account settings and
protections for accounts of 13 to 17 year olds
A July 2010 survey found that 37% of U.S. 10-
to-12-year-olds were on
Facebook, which means that every one of these
children had to lie about their age to get on
the service.
13. The best and most important thing you can
do is know your FB settings!!
◦ Change them – by default most of these settings
are wide open.
◦ You can keep others from tagging you in photos
◦ You can set notifications to know right away if
anyone has tagged you
◦ You can set your default post and photos to a more
private setting
◦ Use the custom lists/groups
◦ Rotate your photos – you don’t need all your photos
available all the time
◦ Check the settings regularly!
