Blog Safety

My Space and Your Job Search: This video was about how posting disreputable things about yourself on My Space can ruin your chances on interviews for new jobs. This is because you might think that My Space is a safe place where you can do anything you want but things you think are private may actually be public. Steps to prevent this were to clean up your profile, or only allow profile access to your friends.

Online Sexual Exploitation: This video was about sexual predators and how they know how younger kids will react to how they interact with them. Chatting is non threatening to younger kids and they build trust with these kids. They then want to meet with them and the kid doesn't know any better and the sexual predator can get their prize. The point of the video was to raise awareness about this and probably to tell guardians of kids to keep watch of them while they are on the internet.

Think Before You Post: This video was about how a girl posted her raunchy picture on the wall of her high school's bulletin board, and it was showing how that situation is pretty much hell for anyone and it is pretty similar to posting the same picture on my space or other similar websites. The message was THINK BEFORE YOU POST.
