Happy Data Privacy Month - Resources for Students and Administrators

Readers,

This is an initiative from the National Cyber Security Alliance, but I think EVERYONE should pay attention to the information that they choose to release online via social networking websites. Sometimes, I actually have to remind myself that certain blog posts would reveal more personal information than I would like to disclose to my readers. :)

Here are some resources for students:
