It also notes that while school policies are important, ensuring they meet students' needs is key, and involvement from multiple stakeholders may be needed.

1. How early is too early to begin educating children about their digital
footprint? Should education in social media start in Secondary or should we be
talking about it with our Primary students? Why or why not?
2. How do we develop an awareness program about participating online that
empowers students to make the right choices in 2012 and in the future? Who
needs to be involved?
3. It’s all well and good to create a school policy, but how do we ensure it is
working to meet the needs of our students?
