Inappropriate use of digital media

Stephanie Riley
The most obvious example that I can think of was that a couple of years ago a female student in our district sent a male student an inappropriate picture that was then shared pretty extensively, although mostly with one of the sports teams.  The coach had to point out to the students that this girl was underage and that what they were sharing was child pornography and that they could get into huge trouble if they had that image on their phones or if they shared that image with anyone else.  I think the way to have handled this better would have been to educate students about these issues before it happened, both warning about what can happen when you send inappropriate pictures to someone, even to someone you think you can trust, and about how wrong it is to share images like that with others.
