Students and Technology: Facing Facebook Realities

Social networking Web sites (like Facebook and MySpace) are staples in the lives of students, enabling them to share their lives via blogs and photos with literally thousands of people. While these electronic connections provide a useful outlet, many fail to realize the pitfalls of such web sites—especially when they can be accessed by future university administrators, professors and prospective employers. Join our panel of experts as they discuss the “Facebook phenomenon,” cybersafety, cyberethics, and ways to help students become more responsible in their on-line activities.

Safety and Security KEYNOTE
Maintaining a Safe IT Environment When Your Child Knows More About the Technology Than You Do

Jane Scott Norris, CISSP-ISSAP, ISSMP, CAP, CISM
       Chair (ISC)² U.S. Government Executive Writers Bureau
       Co-Chair (ISC)² Government Advisory Board for Cyber Security

 

We all live in a technically dynamic world where our teenagers are much more comfortable with the information technology world than their parents, teachers and other adult figures. Technology is a double-edged sword. It can be used in positive ways to improve learning and communications; however it also has a dark side that leads to problems that have been well documented in the media of late. This presentation will discuss common vulnerabilities, contemporary computer and communications technologies, and discuss parental strategies for preventing privacy, cyber bullying and other related issues.

 

Expanding upon the earlier panel discussion regarding on-line activity, (ISC)2 will share additional insight and recent issues all parents, students and educations need to be aware of involving social networking and websites.

12 noon - 1:15 pm
