I talk to kids and parents quite often about "Internet safety" and I think we need to break it into a few categories: privacy, safety, and reputation. Things can get confusing for adults and teens when trying to understand how to behave/act online...
Feel free!
Jenni-
These are great. Thanks for sharing. I am working with Middle Schoolers and their parents all year on Digital Citizenship. This is a great resource. Is it ok if I borrow some slides?

How are our discussions about safety on the internet evolving as students (and adults) become increasingly connected through social networking and other means? Have we changed our tone, and how?
Absolutely. I was presenting to 8-12 graders at the Key School in Annapolis. The report from the school was that there was massive changing of privacy settings on Facebook immediately thereafter.
Now that Facebook has reduced its age expectations...
Terrific preso, Jenni. How was it received at your school?
I would love to quote some of it if I may. I'm preparing something similar for middle-schoolers.

Lucy Gray said… - Hi Jenni - This is totally last minute, but did you see that the Google Teacher Academy is coming to DC? The apps are due tonight at midnight, if you feel like a little last minute stress. The written part of the application is not particularly taxing, but there is a video requirement. The video does not have to be anything fancy!
More info is available here: http://www.google.com/educators/index.html I should have thought to have posted something here earlier!

- His name is Owen - he was born on the 31st of Dec (thank you tax return!) We are still adjusting to being parents, but it is so wonderful. Great to hear about Gus and Rose. Good luck with the search process!

- Yup, that's my son! We fall deeper in love with him every day. He is on my lap now actually. I am typing one handed. Hope Rose and Gus are doing well. Are you guys looking at schools now?

- Hi Jenni!
How are things at Sidwell? I have been working as the US Tech coordinator at Crossroads School in Santa Monica. Just discovered this resource and I figured you would already be here.
Are you attending the NECC conference in DC this summer? If so, I would love to catch up.

Lynn Ramsson said… - hi Jenni! Jamie Britto (from Collegiate in Richmond) suggested I contact you about internet safety programs. I coordinate parent education programming at the Steward School in Richmond while teaching English and Health classes and I am intrigued by your approach to educating parents and students about internet safety--Jamie gave me a little information about the talk you gave with your daughter and I thought it sounded amazing. Are you able to schedule talks at other schools this year? If so, I'd love to hear when you're available! thanks in advance and hope you have a good day!

- Jenni, We are interested in having you come to speak to students 5 - 8 and parents about Internet safety again next fall. I was planning to talk to you at the AIMS Retreat but after reading your recent posts on the topic thought I would send a message. Jane

Hi Susan ~ I Twitter and I love my PLN on Twitter! I get teaching ideas daily, and I feel like I miss out on great discussion if I am away from Twitter for more than a few days. My Twitter name is BJacketsfan.

Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
And then I'm done.
However, o...
Dear Cassandra,
Thanks for the help. I have visited the Primary Mathematics series website and sent an email to their school contact email address. If I don't hear something soon I will send you an email request for your rep.

I've been asked to design and teach a 1 or 2 session adult ed course on social networking, including Facebook and Linkedin, and perhaps Twitter. The participants may likely be seniors, though these days I'm not exactly sure what age constitutes a ...
