FIT Project - Social Networking

Participants kept the dialogue only around safety issues without referencing the materials provided by the Team or the facilitator on education and other benefits of social networking. Resources that were posted by me to inform the class include video presentations on education, business and economic benefits. Articles that address kids/teens safety and social networking tools were provided, including links to other similar articles. Examples
