I read an article called, “Student Information Online” written by Jeff Utecht Which was talking about a hot topic lately and that is cyber safety with students. This article was telling which information is safe to put online. This relates to me personally because I have a few accounts that are open on the web, even with private setting you can never be too safe. For me it is just common sense to not put personal information including last names, addresses, school, neighborhood, or phone numbers. Many mistakenly do this and sometimes the consequences can be very dangerous.

This relates to school a lot too because in my English class we do have a blogger account (obviously) which is public to everyone. Our teacher always makes sure that we never put our last names on our work or any other risky information. Putting your last name or phone number online is just not worth risking your life. This is the way it relates to the world because young girls especially all over need to listen to this and be careful about what they put online. Nothing is really private on the internet no matter what anyone says, hackers are everywhere trying to get information on you. In this day and age there are so many pedophiles out there so people have to always be cautious. It is quite unfortunate that this is the type of world we live in but it is something that exists so we have to deal with it.
