Take a look at some of the recent data through this infographic created by Pew Research in the 2013 published report "//Teens, Social Media and Privacy//". URL: @http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/05/21/teens-social-media-and-privacy-3/ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Do you see any particular data in this infographic that concerns you with online student behaviors, or which you can describe as reasonable evidence for what we should be teaching as digital citizenship skills? Be specific citing the data below in your response. We will be addressing Facebook specifically in an upcoming workshop lesson, so offer your thoughts and insights about the other data provided. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"> Graphic Source: Pew Internet Parent/Teen Privacy Survey. 2012.
