professional identities as organizations and technologies change.

We still search for social connections and validation. Youth are still exploring and experimenting with risky

behavior.

Broad Context

What has changed is the fact that there could very well be a permanent record of all of this, one with implications that

can't be predicted or controlled. Common Sense Media TR

How many of your students have mobile devices with photo/video options?

Search for “Vancouver riot” on Flickr reveals more than 10,000 entries.

What are the implications for this young person?
