On the blog Between The Lines Ed Gottsman writes about an 18-year-old that had his friends film him as he stole a pair of glasses. They later posted the video to YouTube. The police were able to use the video to catch the guy. All around it was a pretty stupid thing to do but it raises the point that kids don’t always realize that what they post on-line is viewable by everyone. There are lots of examples which show that many kids don’t realize the impact of what they put on-line. As educators we need to help them be more aware.
