Parents’ Guide to Facebook 2012 Edition Now Available

ConnectSafely.org, the non-profit organization where I serve as co-director along with Anne Collier, has just released A Parents Guide to Facebook (PDF), a free 36-page downloadable guide to help parents and their kids get the most from the world’s largest social networking service.

The all-new guide shows how to take advantage of the service’s safety features and privacy controls, while emphasizing the positive things that young people are doing on Facebook.

The guide covers:

  • Configuring Facebook’s new timeline
  • How to review your activity log
  • Using “in-line privacy”
  • Using Facebook’s “social reporting” tools to resolve problems
  • How to protect your online reputation
  • Safe use of Facebook mobile
  • And much more
