//Are your policies getting in the way of your progress?// > "The publicity about online “predators” who prey on naive children using trickery and violence is largely inaccurate." > “the statistical probability of a young person being physically assaulted by an adult who they first met online is extremely low” > "young people’s use of social networking sites does not increase their risk of victimization" > "Restricting or forbidding access to social networking sites will likely do more harm than good, because social networking sites and the way young people use those sites have created not only places for social interaction, but also “informal learning environments" > "students would greatly benefit if educators are able to incorporate social networking sites into classroom instruction" > "Unless new media are used in schools and within families, youth are on their own in figuring out the ethics, social norms, and civil behaviors that enable good citizenship in the online part of their media use and lives" > "Avoid scare tactics and promote the social-norms approach to risk prevention." >
