    Did you know that Virginia was the first state to require Internet Safety training in schools? With the rise of social networking and cyberbullying Bob McDonnell (Attorney General at the time) got the law passed to require this in schools. I think it requires at least a one hour lesson each year for every student.

    I never dreamed in a MILLION years that I would ever agree with anything that came out of McDonnell's mouth (Because as of recent his support of people like Cuccinnelli has put me over the edge!), but I do agree with what he said about students thinking that they are bulletproof and doing potentially harmful things online. I did not know that we had laws that stated that internet safety training be done. I can't think of anything official that we do with the students, but the parents must go through ibook training. I guess they go over it then. At TMS we do cyberbullying lessons, but they don't at all schools, so I am wondering where and when this state law/mandate is being taught?

    I did not know this either, but I think it is great! Are all schools required to do this training because I don't think that we have anything mandatory at my school. I wish we did; for the staff, students and parents!

    I have actually enjoyed teaching the internet safety lessons to my students the past 2 years. I wonder if there is a possibility of some legislature requiring internet safety lessons for parents.... Just a thought.

    I think one hour per year is minimal. I am glad it exists, but maybe a few times a year as a follow up and reminder for the kids???

    LOVE THIS ONE! Great site for parents to know how to keep their kids safe on facebook, and it is kind of a course on how to use facebook and how to access different things on your child's page. I might even need to read them so I know how to use facebook better!

    I thought that schools might want to incorporate the free resources at the bottom of this page into their internet safety lessons. Things are broken down by age which I thought was very helpful.

    This article talks about teachers who actively use cell phones in their classroom. While they make some valid points and have come up with somre really creative lessons, I still am a tad bit skeptical!

    From what I hear, it is a battle just to make the students keep their cell phones away and silent during the day. Would this be like opening Pandora's Box?
  • Melissa Reams on 11 Jul 10
     
    Like we discussed before, it would be hard work to use cell phones appropriately. I am skeptical as well, but it would be a great tool someday :))
  • anonymous on 12 Jul 10
     
    So is it possible that cell phones just don't fit with traditional education? In other words, as long as schools are organized the way they are, we just can't use them for all the reasons we've talked about: safety, distraction, cheating, etc. etc.

    I think some teachers are willing to try and incorporate them into education, but the majority think it is too much of a hassle. As an administrator and a teacher, I personally think the cons out weigh the pros.

    Kate, This should be mandatory for ALL parents! I really enjoyed this... thanks for sharing.

    I think all schools should offer a parents internet education. I really believe that some parents have no clue what really goes on when their children get on the internet.
  • Tia Brown on 17 Jul 10
     
    Wow! This is good, but this mom sure has a lot of time on her hands! I do agree that this should be something or something like this that all parents should do cause they don't have a clue what their kids are up to.

    Gates makes a strong case for making new technology part of our investment in education The better educated our students are, the better we will perform economically.
  • Stacy Palkovics on 16 Jul 10
     
    I agree that technology is crucial for our investment in education and that it will help us perform better economically, but we need to get a grasp on the safety aspect because it is getting way out of hand.
