| Coaching | This occurs when teachers help students make good decisions about issues of safety and responsibility online. |
| Filtering | This occurs when students are not allowed by adults to access content online. |
| Social Communication Distance | The amount of virtual "space" you allow between parties when communicating online. This is similar to the space you feel comfortable with when communicating in RL. |
| Proxemic | Allowing students to develop personal relationships online when it is reasonable to do so. |
| Strangers | Strangers online aren't always danger. Students need to learn how to balance safety, common sense, and opportunity in a digital community. |
| Disclosure | When communicating online, students should know the policies about how much of their information will be made public. |
| Vague | Students should think at least twice before posting something that could be inappropriate. Sometimes not saying everything you are thinking is better. |
