The clips demonstrate mistakes kids can make online. The 10 question quiz covers the topics of cyber-bullying, privacy, safety, dangers of spyware and malware, etc. The quiz doesn't really focus on stranger-danger type concerns but rather gently and humorously reminds the reader that it's possible to hurt people's feelings, to mislead people who don't realize you're joking, to remember that online postings can be seen by anybody and that postings are often impossible to remove once posted.
