Among the issues confronting children and parents are:B) From their first step onto the Internet, todays children create a digital footprint of

16、potential permanence. Teachers and parents, often with limited knowledge of new technologies, are competing to coach their children how to manage the reputations they build through blogs and social media use, and to understand the potential harm of lives made public via the Internet. The hope, teach

17、ers say, is to avoid the situation illustrated by a university student who earlier this month talked about her breath-alcohol level and arrest at a football game.
