> NetSmartz is a good online resource that provides information in order to help educate parents and kids about the use of the internet.  This site has content that is tailored for parents and kids (kids, tweens, & teens), so depending on how old a child is, there is content tailored to the internet issues that that age group encounters.  There are also tools for educators and law enforcement as well.

> 
> 1. According to this study, most parents are concerned about what their teens do online and how their digital footprints might be monitored by advertisers, future employers, and others.
> 
> 2. A new California law requires websites to remove anything a teen posts online if they request it. Supporters say this so-called “eraser” law would give embarrassed teens a chance to delete something they regret. 
> 
> 3. College-bound teens should consider that what they post online might be seen by admissions staff. This quiz was created by an educator and encourages students to clean up their digital image before applying.
> 
> 4. Teens don’t always realize how much information others can find out about them online. Use this new video from NetSmartz to start a discussion with teens about their digital footprint. 
> 
> 5. Simple tools, like this flashcard from A Platform for Good, can go a long way in reminding teens to be careful of their online image. Get more flashcards like this here.

> Last month we asked if teens should be worried about their digital footprints. One of our readers, Sakima White, responded on Facebook:
> “I definitely think they should. Things from their past can haunt them later on in life. I have always heard that once you put something on the Internet, it’s always out there.”
