The following is one of my annotated bibliography entries for research I have been doing on this topic. There is a lot of material on the internet on this topic (not surprising) but I found this author and site very useful. Read on...
Criddle, L. (2008). Look Both Ways: Online Safety Consulting. Retrieved March 25, 2008, from
http://look-both-ways.com/default.aspx
The author, Linda Criddle, is an internationally recognized speaker and advisor on child safety and the internet, owns a consulting company and has written a book on the topic. She appears to be a very experienced and credible resource on the topic. Her website offers consulting advice, excerpts from her book as well as links to websites that offer other support for the reader. The intended audience for her book and services are administrators, teachers, and parents of internet users. Her work on this website is exceptional. The website offers bullet-point highlights of different topics of which she advises as well as offers links to sites that the reader would find useful. Certainly, there are risks involved in exposing students to the internet, let alone social networking sites. Criddle’s work offers educators direction on both proactive steps to take as well as on what to do in the event that some type of threat occurs. I would consider her work a must read for educators involving their school and students in social networking.
