ChatRoulette, from my perspective [danah boyd] - 0 views

  •  
    danah boyd says she's been following ChatRoulette for a while now but hasn't been comfortable talking about it publicly. For one, it's a hugely controversial site, one that is prompting yet-another moral panic about youth engagement online.

Chatroulette Website - Not For Kids - 0 views

  •  
    Educational value: There is the rare chance to try out a newly learned language wth someone from another country or learn new things by meeting random folks around the world, but this site is such a lawless environment that it's too risky to really be educational at this point.

Journeys In 2.0 Teaching: Using Voicethread in the Classroom Part 1 - 0 views

  • Our Global Issues Project is the culminating activity from my digital literacy unit in Language Arts 9. Students are challenged to look at their position in the world, their perceived power, and what they as teenagers can do to change things. The song Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer is the jumping off point for this project. Students listen to the song, then blog about the meaning of the song. They then listen to the song and again respond in the blog about the meaning of the lyrics. Finally, they watch the music video several times and pick out all of the keywords, imagery, and allusions they can. This is done with a graphic organizer in Google Docs which they share with each other. I'll share another awesome use of Google Docs later this week!
  • There is a teachable moment here that you should incorporate. We talk about digital citizenship a lot in class, and the use of creative commons and copyright, so I have my students select photos that they have permission for, which they then have to include in a photo bibliography complete with links to the source of each photo.

Re-Imagining Learning - Helping Youth Navigate the Online World - 5 views

  • GoodPlay Project is exploring the impact of digital media on young people's ethical development, with a focus on identity, privacy, ownership and authorship, credibility, and participation. Based on the results of a survey of young people on these themes, Gardner is developing curricula for parents and teachers on how to teach ethics in the digital age.
  • youth are making important ethical decisions at a younger age than their parents did. "As a citizen, you are supposed to know the rules and not just promote self-interest.
  • children report that the Internet is a more credible source of information for school papers or projects than books.

  • Because of digital media and human mobility, communities may not be geographically bound. Instead, they are bound by common interests
  •  
    being a citizen in today's society has very different issues and challenges, presented to the next generation at increasingly younger ages. "The ability to participate in a responsible way online is part of what kids have to learn about becoming responsible members of the public."

What to do if your pictures are stolen on Flickr - - 2 views

  •  
    Like many photographers I enjoy people viewing my pictures, but I don't appreciate people using my images without permission, again by this I don't mean when someone uses my images and gives me proper credit and links back to this site, that is ok and encouraged. What I mean by "without permission" is when they pass it as their own or use it for profit without compensating me and asking for permission.

iCritical Thinking: Digital Literacy Assessment - 0 views

  •  
    The test, iCritical Thinking Certification, created by the Educational Testing Service and Certiport, reveals whether or not a person is able to combine technical skills with experiences and knowledge. Today's students need to be able to think critically and effectively solve problems while using technology going beyond simply searching for information. They also must evaluate the legitimacy of the information, put it in context, and then apply problem-solving and decision-making skills.

Sexting and common sense - 0 views

  •  
    I am sure that Vermonters don't like the idea of teens sending sexy pictures from one phone to another. Nor do Ohio and Utah parents want their kids using cell phone minutes to bare their bodies with their buddies. Nevertheless, their state legislatures are among the first trying to sensibly ratchet down the penalties for sexting. They are backing away from laws that currently treat a teenager with a cell phone the same way they treat a child pornographer. They know there's a difference between truly dreadful judgment and a felony.

Should Sexting Be A Crime? - 0 views

  •  
    Right now, sexting is a crime and kids can be prosecuted for distribution of pornography. And if a person is convicted of a sex crime, they have to register as a sex offender which will haunt them for years (talk about your permanent record...).\n\nIn Vermont, there is a movement to decriminalize sexting. We agree that kids shouldn't be prosecuted for essentially doing something really stupid. But we do believe it's up to parents to educate their teens about this really risky practice. Kids should know that anything they send can be redistributed in an instant to anyone and could result in tremendous humiliation and pain.\n\n
