Your slideshow is great---to the point! I may be using part of it---thanks!
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?
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?

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

Thanks for your input! We have a liberal filtering policy which only blocks, porn, gambling and hate sites. My teachers have been upset because they do not want to be the Facebook "police". We set up a disciplinary OU that restricts access to any fu…
We don't block facebook at our school. I actually just did a history research paper with my students where they created Facebook fan pages for early 19th century reformers. Anyway, during class, when kids are using their computers, I circle around t…

Is anyone using, have used, or have any opinions on the HP tablets?
I have a copy of their white paper on online gaming and how it actually improves a student's understanding of civics.
Nice way to sum it up, Joseph. I enjoyed the exchange here. I agree w/you on cars in my comment above, but the way. Cars certainly allow us to go places and do things that simply are not possible without them (kinda like the Internet I suppose). My…
Hey Beth,
We don't block facebook and other social networking sites. For the most part, this works for us. It doesn't mean our students aren't off task periodically, but I wouldn't point to facebook/social networks as the reasons for off task behavi…
