Our Internet Safety Obsession Is Bad for Children | GeekDad | Wired.com - 3 views

shared by Phil Taylor on 21 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Our obsession with online safety for children is excessive. It is driven by group-think and fear, generated by media and interested parties who often ignore any rigorous evidence-based approach to the issues, or even bother to explore a simple risk analysis.
  • says that the internet is simply a mirror of our society that due to its hyperconnectivity is amplified. This means our concerns about online bullying, online sexual predators and our children stumbling across inappropriate content on the world wide web are simply heightened concerns that have always existed in the world – real and virtual.
  • As bullying is more visible we are hearing more stories and reports about it in the media.

  • The vast majority of sex crimes against kids involve someone that kid trusts, and it’s overwhelmingly family members.”
  • We need to change the language to address the fact we are introducing children to online environments through a len of fear. We need: A Digital Media Literacy Day
  • A Parent-Child Internet Day
  • We need, as parents, to help our children develop the values and the resilience and the capacity to engage with the online world unassisted.

  • most online sex offenders are adults who target teens and seduce victims into sexual relationships. They take time to develop the trust and confidence of victims, so that the youth see these relationships as romances or sexual adventures. The youth most vulnerable to online sex offenders have histories of sexual or physical abuse, family problems, and tendencies to take risks both on- and offline, the researchers say.

edublogs filtering research learning

shared by John Evans on 12 Mar 09 - Cached
  • Students in schools around the world find that their research, creativity and learning potential is seriously curbed by filtering and lack of use of their own mobile and gaming devices in schools. This comes from research spanning the Americas, brought to my attention by its author, Research Consultant Kim Farris-Berg
  • "In 2007, [filtering] was high school students’ number one obstacle to using technology at their schools (53 percent). For middle school students, two obstacles tied for the greatest barrier (39 percent each): “there are rules against using technology at school” and “teachers limit technology use”. It’s likely that when students face obstacles to using technology at school, they also face obstacles to inquiry-based learning opportunities which can include online research, visualizations, and games."
  • "Students reported that other major obstacles to using technology at school are not being able to access email accounts and slow internet access. Perhaps these are the reasons why just 34 percent of teachers communicate with students via email. Teachers are certainly online; just not with students. Ninety percent of teachers, parents, and school leaders use email to communicate with one another about school."

  • Thanks to a company named Google , we no longer are confined to a photo album, a world map with push pins or a heavy family atlas to connect stories and images from around the world. Thanks to Web 2.0 tools, we can mash-up media, such as photos, videos, audio, and links that take us to explore further to TELL a story in more detail and with more connections to the world around us than ever before. We can invite others to collaborate in telling a story that has many perspectives, memories, or meanings.
  • How can you or your students write a story with a map? Create a Scavenger Hunt around the World Use an image of a place anywhere on Earth or your own backyard as a story starter Map the settings of a book you are reading Write a collective "Where have you been this summer" as a class Follow a biography of an important character in history and events that influenced or were influenced by him Tell the story of learning (and where) that took place in your classroom in a  school year
