10 Reasons to Think Before You Share Photos of Children Online<\/span><\/h1>\n

This post and episode may hit a bit differently, but it’s one that is near and dear to my heart. I feel like I must speak out and be an advocate for our children and students.<\/p>\n

\"10Recently, I have been doing a lot of research about the risks of sharing pictures of children online.<\/p>\n

As a parent and a teacher, I feel like I must advocate for our children and share this information. There is no 100% safe way to share a child’s image or information online.<\/p>\n

I have personally struggled with the idea of sharing my beautiful son online. While I am bursting with pride as a parent<\/a>, I am also aware of many dangers online. So, I did my research and there is so much that parents, teachers, and schools should be aware of.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this post is to grow awareness, not to point fingers. Make your own educated decisions about what is right for the children in your life.<\/p>\n

Before we dive in, I want to clarify something I have talked about in the past, sharing student work for an online, authentic audience. This is still important! Kids need an audience, but remember, we do not need to share names, faces, or identifying information in order to give students an audience for their work. (I talk a lot about his idea in my books<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

As parents, we have to think about whether we are sharing this for ourselves or for the good of our children?<\/span><\/p>\n

As teachers, we have to think about whether we are sharing this for ourselves or our school, or for the good of our students?<\/p>\n

This question comes up a lot in a book I’m reading, Growing Up Shared: How Parents Can Share Smarter on Social Media\u2014and What You Can Do to Keep Your Family Safe in a No-Privacy World.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
