100 million
people
under 24
Twitter: almost a
quarter of a million users
under 24Slide3

Facebook makes this complicated: should be re-visited as settings change (and child ages)Slide7

YouTube
Consumption & Commentary
: YouTube enables teens to watch, share and comment on a variety of types of content (but especially music) and connect with other people who enjoy the same content.
Content Creation
: vlogs, fan videos, funny videos of cats, webisodes, homework assignments, recordings of live concerts filmed on someone's cameraphone: all can be put on YouTube for others to see.Slide10
Trolling/CyberBullies
Trolling
: maintaining a negative attitude in an online space; posting (and re-posting) rude, offensive or cynical comments without cause; purposefully antagonising other users with the intent of driving a user from a particular online space. Teens need not only to be educated about how to deal with being trolled but also to be taught not to troll!
CyberBullying
: "willful and repeated harm inflicted" through the use of various electronic devices including but not limited to: computers, cell phones and online communities (Patchin and Hinduja 2007).Slide11
For Example:Slide12Slide13
Twitter
Twitter is a "micro-blogging" platform: users "tweet" messages of 140 characters or less to their followers
Tweet text, pictures, videos and links
Follow celebrities, news sources, or friends from real life
Words or phrases preceded by # are referred to on Twitter "hash-tags".
Usernames on Twitter are preceded by the @ symbol, and you will see any public use of your @username. Slide14
Twitter, continued.
Concerns about privacy and cyberbullying also apply
If you receive abusive @messages, it is possible to block other users but you cannot prevent them from tweeting about you
"Lock" your twitter: tweets are set to public by default, locking limits tweets to approved followersSlide15
