Internet Safety

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?

3E Fusing Library and Technology: A literary approach to digital citizenship

In this session we will cover the process we have used to incorporate current fiction with a technology piece at its center into discussions that connect students to issues in online behavior. We have collaborated with classroom teachers to extend discussions of these elements into the Library and Technology classes, incorporating reflections on the digital behaviors of the characters and how they relate to real life experiences.Technology is having a huge impact on the plot lines in current…See More

Stop the spam please!  I don't need to follow all 25 discussion groups.  Let me sign up for the ones I am interested in, not have to opt out of each one.  I appreciate your efforts, but when I get 30 emails in 5 minutes the sender just gets added to my spammers list.

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,

Yeehah, thanks for joining the AIMS Group :-) Am totally impressed that you have your kids assisting you with your Internet Safety talks!

Looking forward to seeing you in just a few weeks!
Cheers, Laurie

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.

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!

Having your daughter too will add a great dimension.

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 Jenni,
Good to see you too. Sorry I don't see you in person! Perhaps at the tech retreat?
