Today we were covering Internet Safety, specifically about Social Media and Passwords/Identity

1)    Social Media
-you are in control of what you upload or who you follow online, but...
-you are NOT in control of what others do
-remember that images and words uploaded ought to be considered permanent

2)    Passwords + Identity
-passwords need to be long, complicated, not memorizable (so password manager software like 1Password or LastPass are required)
-as an adult, I have just under 800 passwords (!) and none of them are the same, none are memorizable, all are complicated (upper/lower case, symbols, digits); you are asking for trouble if you use the same password over and over again.
-your identity (which is made up of what you say online, pictures associated with you, and even names you choose for email) should be professional and serious, since this will follow you for years to come
