Digital Nation videos

I watched the video called "Digital Parenting: Protecting and Empowering Kids." I think this is a really important issue when it comes to what we allow kids to have access to on the Internet. We really need to teach kids how permanent everything that they do over the Internet is, but we also need to have some faith in them and not be as overbearing as the mother in this video. You have to be careful with what you do online, and you have to watch out for others who may be out to hurt you, but you still have a private personal life that shouldn't be intruded upon by parents or anyone else who may think they know what's best. I think as teachers we can only do so much during school to make sure kids are safe, and parents need to me mindful at home, but at the same time they can't push their kids away by being overprotective and sneaking into their personal life.
