The kind folks over at PBS sent me a screener of the new Frontline special "Growing Up Online," which will air on Tuesday. They also let me offer up my reaction to the doc in a blog post. I was interviewed via phone for the documentary when it was in pre-production, and we invited the film crew to the 2007 Ypulse Mashup in San Francisco. You can read my review of the program on PBS's "Remotely Connected" blog. Tune in or Tivo on Tuesday night, and let me know what you think of "Growing Up Online."

RE "Jessica’s story is perfect for talking about managing your online identity - who you are at school vs. at home vs. at work vs. online vs. with a particular group of friends. It’s also a nice opening to discuss the kind of attention girls tend to get when they post provocative photos (even the artsy variety) and the kind of trouble they can get into (when another parent finds them and tells the principal)."
How did Jessica’s story turn out? Did the principal punish her for her MySpace photos?
