Ubiquitous access to information, collaborative learning through social networking and the sharing of knowledge in a global platform has the potential to help grow good citizens with a sense of ethics and etiquette in the global village. Yet, potential learning opportunities can be outweighed by misconceived ideas about Internet predators, groomers, pornography, online bullying are more. These issues are often sensationalized by the media. It’s time to educate our parents.
 * Something to consider... **

//"Parents, there’s no doubt that we want what’s best for our children. We want them to enjoy life and everything that it has to offer, and we want them to be safe while doing so. In today’s world, the Internet is part of that life. Its mainstream influence on our society is growing more and more every day, and our children are right there on the frontline ready to embrace what it has to offer."// [|Yoursphere Before Facebook – Here’s why]

//"The internet is a little like the proverbial elephant that never forgets. Our digital footprints are not like the footprints on the beach, washed away by the next wave or rising tide. Rather they are like footprints left to dry in the wet concrete of the footpath."// http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/The+Digital+Citizen
