Social Networking
Social networking sites such as Facebook™, SnapChat™and Instagram™ have become very popular with many technology users. Understanding these sites and how they allow users to communicate and share information is critical. These sites can be accessed anywhere there is an Internet connection often on Smartphones. All users need to be aware of the information that is shared on these sites to protect their identity as well as friends. Check out a post by Hands Free Mama (Rachel Macy Stafford) on the access of technology tools for Teens and Tweens.
Here are a few ideas:
- Parent should have access to the username and password of the account.
- Parents should also be on the site and “follow” their children.
- Do not assume just because there are cartoon characters or other child oriented information that the content is for younger users. Sites like Common Sense Media can help identifying the best sites - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/
- Some users have multiple accounts on social media sites. Often one that most people know and another for close friends, be aware of what to look for on sites for multiple accounts.
Twitter
Twitter is a micro-blogging site. It used to allow users to post short messages (or Tweets) of 140 characters or less but is now expanding this number to help share more information. The origin of Twitter started with cell phones (this is the reason for the small number of characters) but has grown beyond its original idea. Users enjoy Tweeting as it is a quick and easy way to share information.
