Summary

Recently, and increasingly often, high school and college students are making bad decisions online. They don't recognize the reach, immediacy, or permanence of the internet. They are posting text, pictures, and videos that they will later regret. They are being seduced by the anonymity that the internet provides and bullying one another in new and disturbing ways. The decisions they are making online today have profound consequences for them and others, both now and in the future. This book is aimed at helping students understand how the internet is different from the offline world, and how to make smart decisions regarding the way they present themselves, and the behaviors they engage in, online.
