First Night of Class

A few things that my group discussed while looking at the Pew Internet and American Life Project Libraries Reports were privacy issues and how technology has effected instant gratification within the classroom. The ideas didn't technically go hand in hand but they were ideas that we were thinking about after looking at a PowerPoint. How can we help students understand that once they have an internet presence it doesn't go away? I think about this issue a lot when I see students posting pictures/information about themselves. How can we be more effective in explaining how important it is to be responsible with their identities?
