This video was very well done and is very clever. I question the assertion, however, that by posting work on a school blog or wiki, a student is going to be contacted by an Internet predator. Is there a single documented case of this ever happening in the United States? Certainly it is a bad idea for kids to go into unmoderated chat rooms and start talking about things like sex, but I think many fears about social networking tools and predators are exaggerated.
