Online Safety 3.0 by Anne Collier

Recently in the School Library Journal, Anne Collier wrote an article about the path Online Safety needs to take in the future.

It's a great article. She talks specifically about the four types of safety necessary for youth to participate online in a healthy way:

Physical—freedom from physical harm
Psychological—freedom from cruelty, harassment, and exposure to potentially disturbing material
Reputational and legal—freedom from unwanted social, academic, professional, and legal consequences that could affect you for a lifetime
Identity, property, and community—freedom from theft of identity and property and attacks against networks and online communities at local, national, and international levels.

Please take a few minutes to read the full article.
