"If you wouldn't put it on a bumper sticker, don't put it on Facebook,"

Read an interesting article today about a presentation given by a group of HS Seniors to their peers about the dangers of facebook and how personal information is shared and used to make money through advertising.
It's a good read and the quote that I will take back to my students is, "If you wouldn't put it on a bumper sticker, don't put it on facebook." In fact I think I'm going to jump over to BigHugeLabs and make it into a Motivational Poster to post in my classroom.

    Read your headline on my dashboard and thought..."I need to read this". I facebook and find that statement so true. I love facebook and find it a great way to stay connected to family and friends but the thought of personal information being shared scares me. I think teaching students the importance of keeping many aspects of their lives private is a great way to protect them from the internet unknown.
