I.D., cyber security with local, Ray Brannon

Super PittsburghLIVE.com article for low tech readers and parents
What's a 'blog?'

It stands for 'biographic web log,' and means a sort of online journal any Internet user can post.

Brannon said many teenagers post all sorts of sensitive, confidential information in their blogs, which then can be read by anyone in the world with Internet access--including potential sexual predators.

Such heedless use of blogs, along with unsupervised online instant messaging, is one of the most dangerous practices by kids on the Internet today, according to Brannon.


Classes and programs such as these are part of the vision for progams among 9x9.CLOH.Org and Summit.CLOH.Org.
