    Privacy is an illusion... from Snapchat's own privacy policy. "You should not use Snapchat to send messages if you want to be certain that the recipient cannot keep a copy."

  • SnapChat is publicity ... with privacy
  • SnapChat isn’t really ephemeral – and the likelihood that SnapChat photos will get captured and stored permanently is growing each day.
  • Snaps for a time, contrary to its stated policy of deleting them once they have been opened
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The bigger threat to SnapChat and its users, though, may come from third party platforms and applications, which can easily undermine the privacy protections that are seemingly built into the platform. Early releases of Apple’s iOS operating system changed the way in which screen shots could be taken, making it impossible for the SnapChat application to detect when screenshots of SnapChat images were captured.
  • SnapHack Pro, for sale on the iOS App Store. It allows users to log in using their SnapChat credentials and send and receive Snaps. The difference: all images opened and viewed in SnapHack are permanent.
  • claims to online anonymity and privacy are falling left and right.
  • The only way to win, then, is “not to play

    Users, kids and adults alike, need to realize that even with tools like Snapchat, privacy is an illusion. Even Snapchat admits this in its own privacy policy.

    Seems more reactionary and controlling. Stronger vision, leadership, and willingness to model social media use and engage students in these spaces likely would help a gread deal here. Conversation leads to learning/understanding. Harsh discipline simply leads to compliance much of the time.

    Yes, you can use photos of students successfully in online spaces without showing faces. There are a few nice sample teacher permission slips here to take a look at. Taking photos is so easy today. Even studens can take them for blog posts. Cropping off or blurring faces if necessary is also easily done.

bullying prevention gr8

shared by Steve Ransom on 09 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • Policies, programs, protocols, etc., can be useful tools for people to use, but they don’t change people — only people can change people. Bullying prevention must also start from the ground up — the ground of changing people’s hearts and minds towards greater respect and caring. Bullying prevention should not just be about stopping a negative behavior; it should be about how the members of the school community treat each other.
  • Compliance is a poor, ineffective substitute for a community’s commitment to creating the type culture and climate needed for learning — one that is incompatible will all types of bullying.
  • If people can’t see their culture, they will not be able to change it. Unfortunately, people can become easily habituated to ways of interacting that are often not respectful.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Regardless of how they might appear, all educators think they are doing a good job and suggesting the opposite will only make them more defensive and less open to any recommendation for changing.
  • Fear freezes people into place and prevents meaningful change.
  • Most bullying-prevention efforts emphasize what shouldn’t happen:“Don’t bully others.” The implicit message is that the schools themselves don’t have to change; they just have to make sure that bullying doesn’t happen.
  • many students who bully learn to do it under the radar of adult supervision. Traditional rewards and consequences have little if any impact on bullying behavior in schools.
  • Tell a different story.
  • Stand on principles.
  • Translate principles into specific words and actions.
  • Get adult behavior aligned with principles.
  • All students can lead.
  • Becoming a more caring and respectful school community is the means and the ends towards preventing and reducing bullying in schools.

  • If you are in the position to make policies that impact educators, you better get into their classrooms, learn, and understand their world. —

    How does your district approach technology adoption decisions? Are they largely imposed upon teachers?
