The guide includes overviews of popular social media platforms and video games, summaries of relevant Texas and federal laws, as well as additional information on sexting vs. sextortion and common online terminology and slang. Educator and administrator resources are also provided in the final section, and all content can be easily navigated by clicking on hyperlinked content in the table of contents and pages throughout the guide.
