I appreciate the resources made available to teachers, especially since my lesson bombed because the U.S. Department of Justice revamped their website cybercrime.gov with great readings for students!

Kids Privacy Blog: New App Teaches Kids about Social Networks
The lessons taught focus on not only what the character should do but what the player can do in these situations. See Full Article
I do not know if beSeen will help her navigate an actual social network, but the app does make kids aware of potential real problems. If your kid is trolling for free apps, suggest this one. See Full Article

Fun way to learn

I was looking at the teaching guide (always nice to have one of those) and I liked this overview of the key reasons for students to use BeSeen. I like that it is a contained social network (it’s only an app, not a network) and that it involved role-playing.
I’m intrigued by this concept of using the app (… I see my students making a backstory of their character, writing about the choices their characters faced, and maybe even comparing/contrasting this app with their own real experiences in networks) and I am still wondering if it might fit.

This app is great for kids who aren't familiar with social media, or who are just trying to see what's right/wrong and how to stay safe. Some great tips. A fun way to teach kids.

BeSeen Safely Introduces Social Networking to Children
Only you know when your child is ready to have their own social networking profile, and if you're skeptical as to whether or not your child can handle it, BeSeen may be a good trial run. My 12-year-old daughter and I both tested the app over the weekend. She's had her own (highly monitored) Facebook account for over a year and was a little bored with the game at first, turned off by the fact that she couldn't participate using her own thoughts and words. But she was soon caught up in the game and determined to earn awards for her choices.
Sure, it's just a game, but BeSeen can give you insight into how your child would handle online social scenarios like over sharing, cyberbullying, and connecting to their peers. Then you can determine if they're ready for the real thing.
