Social
networking has become the new playground for Tweens - and who can blame them
for being drawn to a place where they can be anyone they want, meet people from
around the world, share pictures and experiences, build or join a community or
become an instant celebrity? Through the Kidproof Social Netiquette workshop, students learn to develop and apply
proper social etiquette, good citizenship and critical thinking skills to
meeting people, sharing information and socializing through the internet. The
course is open to anyone ages 10-12.
