Since then she has made it her goal to educate everyone about what information is inappropriate or unsafe to share online to prevent others from getting hurt.
As a Cyber Defender, Betty focuses on the most important information you should never share online, your offline identity.

Netiquette - Mobile Etiquette - With Special Guest, Carlo!
Hey everybody, Betty was nice enough to let me help out with this month's blog about mobile etiquette. This will be a multiple-part series spread out over several months, so look for the rest of the entries on my blog soon!
Okay, let's start with the basics. When you're on a cell phone in public, keep in mind that there are people around you. I know it sounds simple, but for some reason, many people think that just because they are on a phone, that makes their conversation private! Hello!
For example, I was walking down the street the other day and the person in front of me was ordering food over the phone. After he placed his order, he started reading his credit card number out loud over the phone! In the middle of a crowded sidewalk! I mean, it's a good thing for him I'm not a bad person. It would have been so easy to write down what he was saying and go on an online shopping spree!
Just remember, Cadets, when you're out in public you have very little control over who is listening to what you say, so watch what you say!
