"...students engage in malicious and hurtful online and offline behavior towards their peers even more frequently than they rage against their teachers." (p.125)
I strongly agree with this statement. In todays world it is a problem that we face daily in schools. Unfortunately posts and/or messages that take place at home cause problems "in real life" at school. It is very frustrating.
"To help students acquire the competencies of digital citizenship , we have to do more than make students sign an acceptable use policy statement.." (p.126)
Again, strongly agree. Students today have had the use of the Internet and being online for their entire lives. They have no fear and do not understand the consequences regarding mis-use. I think as educators we need to find a better way to relay this to kids. To them, an AUP and rules list is only a piece of paper that basically means nothing.
"Many teens maintain high levels of secrecy involving their online activities..." (p.129)
So, so, SO true. And unfortunately parents in todays age either don't care to monitor their childs/rens online actions. So frustrating.
