[LM_NET] Help - what do I call middle school students?

[Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG>]

I am at a loss and thought I would ask a librarian. Or a bunch of
librarians. ;-) I am working on handouts for students on Internet safety. I
just redid how I am approaching this.

I have a handout for teens, that I was thinking would also work in middle
school - but have decided it is too sophisticated. This is entitled Cyber
Savvy Teens. 

I have handouts for K-1 and 2-3 that are entitled Cyber Safe Kids. And one I
am working on for 4-5 entitled Cyber Savvy Kids. (Essentially, after you
realize there is no Santa Claus it it is time to become savvy.)

Now I am simplifying the Cyber Savvy Teens document into one that will work
better for middle school students. What do I call them? Cyber Savvy Tweens?
Do they resonate with this term? My experience is that they do not. They
want to be thought of as teens - which they aren't.

Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Nancy
