Student Attitudes Toward Online Safety
National Public Radio aired a pair of very balanced stories on middle and high school students’ expectations of online privacy and attitudes toward safety this week. It’s helpful as educators to understand the changing expectations of privacy of our students. These clips provide some insight.
