Cons
Korrie-never fully delete something once it's been posted to the internet Jodi -- some sites are too free with the information made public Carol - It can be a distractor for students. If you are working on a class project they could be checking their personal stuff. Angie-Students don't always understand that they have digital footprints. Angie-Not always reliable information.
