Whether it's cute cat videos or pictures from an epic vacation, scholars love to check out what's happening on social media! But, how much sharing is too much? A lesson from a vast digital citizenship series poses some serious points to ponder. Pupils discuss their social networks and examine how shared information affects privacy and reputation.
