Our youth (digital natives) have grown up in a cyber world that is seamlessly integrated with our daily lives. Most parents and other adults (digital immigrants) are not completely familiar with all the various internet apps, tools and sites that allow people to connect in good and bad ways. Many times children are more comfortable in that world than the adults who are supposed to look out for them. While we teach our youth the etiquette of various social interactions, many adults don’t understand enough to give them guidelines for the on-line world. “Net-iquette” will help youth and parents understand the dangers with the internet from stalking and cyber-bullying to sexting and future employment.
