This is the first time I have see this site and I think it's a great site. I was especially interested in the percentage of teens that have cell phone, are on social networking sites and who play online games. The tip sheets are extremely useful and I will include them in my technology class, especially the 6th grade class which are just starting building their own websites. We are encouraging them to use the internet for pictures, research and other content. This site will be a huge help in establishing guidelines for our students.
I also found the video tutorials to be very helpful in getting a glimpse of what other teens think about different issues. The one that dealt with how fast information travels was particularly interesting.
The site brought the key to controlling teens exposure to the evils of internet exposure...involvement. I find it more and more difficult to find parents who take an active role in their teens lives. The teenage years are often looked as years where they become increasingly hard to understand, they are involved in activities that many parents find intimidating, none more so than technology. Parents distance themselves because they believe they are too far behind the curve to understand and help their teenager. I am going to begin to use this site to help parents bridge that gap. Great site.
