In this new media culture, youth are more than just consumers of digital content; they are also active participants and creators,

developing content, debating and interacting with others, and taking action

Today's teens are growing up in a world where social media is everywhere. There is little doubt that social media is playing a significant role in the changing landscape of American youth.

Overview of research on youth and technology

Youth engage with others to work out boundaries, to understand norms. This is how they learn

power and authority, how they learn the networked architecture

of everyday life.

Educators have a critical role when it comes to helping youth navigate

social media. You can help them understand how to make sense of what they're seeing. Youth need to

know more than just how to use the tools - they need to

understand the structures around them.

CBS News - Katie Couric’s Notebook: Cyber Bullying

We start by opening up a dialogue. We start talking to youth about

what they are doing and why they are doing it. We ask them to teach us about the technology while we guide them with the knowledge

that we have through experience.

NCFR Technology Usage Policy

27

Business Use

Employees may not use the technology system for…

• illegal activities • chain letters • solicitations • sexually explicit materials • gambling • games

overall employee manual is the prevailing authority

28

Acceptable Personal Use

NCFR recognizes that technology increasingly blurs the line between work and non-work lives. A limited amount of personal technology use is acceptable, provided such use does not interfere with the performance of work duties or cause any disruption

When accessing personal e-mail, blogs, instant messaging systems, or social networking sites from an NCFR computer, individuals must not disclose any unauthorized information about the organization, or in any way violate company policy or the law

29

Proliferating social technologies are keeping us all in touch with each other more than ever before. For better or worse, it is easier than ever interact with the people in our lives.
