C-Save and Stop Think Connect Resources

The first image is from http://staysafeonline.org/teach-online-safety/middle-and-high-school/. It provides some very valuable tips for high school-aged students. Especially number 1 and 2. I would intergrate this tips when doing a lesson over resumes and scholarship application to make students aware that authority figures many times these days check social media to look for appropriateness and professionalism. The second image is from http://www.stopthinkconnect.org/resources/. This list of tips would be good to remind students of while doing internet research for research papers. I would mention these orally and also post the list in my classroom. It is a general overview of good, safe practices in regards to the internet and technology use.
