Some items to consider:

Intro - Privacy
 * Secure passwords - never check the "remember me" box
 * Privacy
 * Responsible naming conventions - first name - no last? - pseudonym - number
 * Social networking - web portfolio - careful what you post (inappropriate pictures or content can get you in trouble...in 10 years)
 * Parental Involvement - Include not exclude them

Netiquette
 * Online ethics - Integrity - What you do when people are not looking - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity

Dangers
 * Cyber Bullying - reference recent case on bulling in CA which is currently going to trial

 * Explicit Content - pornography and chat rooms
 * Firewalls
 * Piracy

What Now?
 * Blog Moderation
