8. A few statistics Most teens are online: 91% have an e-mail address, and 60% have an instant-message screen name. Nearly three-quarters have a cellphone, and 72% have profiles on social networking sites. Although teens say they recognize the dangers of sharing personal information online, they do it anyway. One in four teens say they know someone who had a bad experience because of information posted on the Internet. Many teens say their parents are clueless: 40% tell their parents very little or nothing about what they do online.

9. Kids are connected, but… “Don’t swallow the myth of the digital native. Just because your teens facebook, IM, and YouTube, don’t assume they know the rhetoric [and practices] of blogging, collective knowledge gathering techniques of taggers and social bookmarkers, collaborative norms of wiki work, how to tune and feed a Twitter network, the art of multimedia argumentation – and, by far most importantly, online crap detection.” -Howard Rheingold, 2009

12. Literacy “Literacy has always been about using the most powerful cultural tools available to make and communicate meaning. At the present, those tools happen to be multimedia tools that use video, graphics, sound, and traditional text in a hypermedia format. If we or our students don't know how to critically use these tools to their fullest meaning-constructive potential, then we—and they—are illiterate.” -Jeff Wilhelm
