"MySpace is a breeding ground for these sexual predators, and there are all sorts of cases happening now where predators have tracked down their victims off MySpace. And they abduct them, they will rape them, and do all sorts of things."

"According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, nearly one in five children ages 10 to 17 have been sexually solicited online."
How likely is it that someone you meet online would try to hurt or scare you?
According to the I-Safe Internet safety curriculum, the correct answer is “highly likely".
Half of teens 13-18 have communicated online with someone they’ve never met.
One third have talked about meeting in person someone they only know online.

"But teens will have many questions: How do I register on a site? How can I purchase something on E-bay without providing my name and address? If I have an anonymous username, is it okay to post pictures of myself in a bikini or pictures of the party I went to on Friday night? How can I have fun on MySpace without sharing information about who I am?"

CYBERBULLYING
New Jersey: A 2007 bill added electronic communication to the definition of bullying in school policies. While the law refers to bullying in schools, new state guidelines say school administrators "may impose consequences for acts of harassment, intimidation or bullying that occur off school grounds, such as cyberbullying," but only when those acts substantially disrupt school.
Delaware: The School Bullying Prevention Act passed in 2007 allows school administrators to take action against "technology-related" bullying that takes place off school grounds "provided there is a sufficient school nexus."
Washington: A 2007 bill added electronic harassment to school district harassment prevention policies. It calls on school administrators to develop policies prohibiting bulling "via electronic means" but restricts the scope of the policy to actions that take place "while on school grounds and during the school day."

How well prepared are your teachers to effectively provide high quality instruction using the Internet in appropriate subject areas?
How effective are the supervision and monitoring strategies at your school?
Are there concerns that need to be addressed related to student Internet use when substitutes are in the classroom?
How effectively is the filtering system working?
          o Are students able to bypass the filter?
          o Is the filter blocking sites that have appropriate educational uses?
          o Is it possible to quickly override the filter? 
How effectively is your school providing Internet safety and responsible use instruction to students? To parents? To teachers?
What specific Internet risk concerns are impacting your school community (e.g. cyberbullying, online gangs, risky sexual, addiction, plagiarism) and what initiatives are necessary to address those concerns?
Is the Internet use policy up-to-date?
What other Internet use issues does your school need to address?

"I shoot pretty much all sports for my schools yearbook. It started a year ago, freshman year, mostly because I have had a mild interest in photography since I was eight years old, about six years ago, and because I knew that if I joined yearbook, it might help my situation with colleges. Within a year, shooting only with a 55-250mm and an canon xsi, I quickly was able to rise up in my school. People all of a sudden started to love my photos, and would tell me all the time. Parents of kids whom I didn't know but apparently played on the teams I shot would tell me how much they loved this or that. Facebook, helped drive my popularity and recognition up the wazoo. Soon, it also helped school plays, student candids ect. My parents, to be honest, couldn't be more thrilled.

At the end of last school year though, I came across a realization, that stuck with me all the way to this year:

What I was doing violated our internet policy contract."
