Geotagging: the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as photographs, video, websites, [etc]. That’s the definition from Wikipedia.
If you’re still unclear on what this means, just imagine using your smartphone to take photos of your child at his/her school performance, then uploading them from your smartphone to a site like Facebook or Flickr, or directly to Twitter via a service like TwitPic or yfrog. Now imagine a complete stranger being able to pinpoint the exact location of where those photos were taken. Well, that’s what geotagging does. And it’s the same technology you’ll find in social networking services like Facebook Places or Foursquare.
Here’s a video that my good friend Sue Scheff forwarded to me. It gives you a nice glimpse into how geotagging technology works on your mobile device, and why you might want to consider disabling it on your smartphone, and your child’s.

June is National Internet Safety Month. But who is making sure our children are safe online?
Five million social media users are under the age of 10 years old, and 51% have given out personal information online to strangers. Out of all teenagers, 95% have been online and 80% use social media, where peer pressure can prompt them to post personal information and photos to strangers when they update their status online.
===> Only 10% of these teens ever talk with a parent about the internet!!! <===

BeSeen is provided by Carnegie Mellon University and Web Wise Kids to teach youth how to be responsible in social networks by securing their private and personal information, protecting their online reputation and defending their peers.
This online safety mobile application is a single-player game that simulates a social networking website. The player creates a profile and starts earning “friend” characters and interacting with them. They learn about others through their posts and help them through challenges in order to win awards and make new friends.
In BeSeen, the ultimate quest is to make friends. At first, that is a matter of getting involved in school activities, but as more friends join a social circle, they bring their problems with them. To keep friends and make more, it’s important not only to be involved but to be a good friend. Who is up for the challenge?
Web Wise Kids' President Judi Westberg Warren discusses how their BeSeen app, like Web Wise Kids' other games, teaches youth ===> how to think critically about the decisions they make online and on social networks. <===
