* Jayne A. Hitchcock's own experience with cyberstalking led her to become an internationally recognized cyber crime expert. During her talk, she looks at publicly available profiles and, while using her fake profile, "friends" students at that school. She then views those students "posts"- some of which could affect them for their entire lives. There is specific relevance for athletes, as their "posts" could not only get them kicked off the team, but could get them expelled. Jayne teaches students about the power of the Internet and how to stay safer online. The presentation is graphic, and although student's faces and names are blocked, the effect is profound. |
