    This article discusses how social networking leads to groupthink.

    I liked how the author posed the question: "Will you expand your mind and increase your creativity more by talking to people just like you or with people who are different?" It is so true. In order to expand your mind and learn about different things it's necessary to go and explore areas of the unknown .

    Reviews are broken down into very specific categories. I haven't heard of some of these but they might be worth checking out.

    Even though the author feels that educators should use the same tools the kids are using, he suggests that schools come up with their own social network. There are links here that are interesting.

    Anyone think this is a bad idea? I am thinking about asking if we can set up a school group.
  • Andrew Stevens on 25 Jun 10
     
    I think it is an interesting idea. I know that many parents and students are told to "check the school's website" for more information. If there is a FB page with updates, I feel that many more parents/students/(and alumni) will find out the information more regularly. Why fight it, embrace it.

Does the F-bomb belong on network TV? - The Week - 1 views

  • An appeals court has struck down the FCC ban on "fleeting curses" in live broadcasts. Is this a win for freedom of speech or vulgarity?

      I wonder if/how this will impact the current free speech arguments that are being made in defense of student posted work? Are we becoming more liberal?
  • Parents shouldn't be relying on the FCC, anyway: As the ruling demonstrated, it's futile for the FCC to try and enforce subjective standards of decency, says the Los Angeles Times in an editorial. "Besides, the FCC can't shield children from inappropriate programs — it has no authority over cable TV channels, and it can't stop kids from using DVRs or the Internet to watch late-night programming in the middle of the day." Luckily, parents now have better tools for blocking programs. The FCC should focus on promoting those methods.

    I think that if parent knew and policed more what their kids were watching and /or spent more time with them than TV would not be a reason for kids to be cussing. We all watched some bad things when we were young, but we didn't dare cuss in front of our parents for fear of being slapped! This debate to me is more about bad parenting than bad TV. It is always easy to blame your bad parenting on TB. I enjoy using the F-Bomb just as much, if not more than the next guy (I am a New Yorker), but I certainly do NOT dream of cussing in front of kids.

  • Why you’d bother: LinkedIn is especially useful when you’re looking for a new job — or a new employee, which helps explain its 70-million-strong global membership — because you’re no longer limited to asking your immediate colleagues for referrals. Now you can ask colleagues of colleagues, which greatly expands your reach. LinkedIners can also vouch for one another as references.

      Am I the only one getting tons of invites for LinkedIn? I wondered what it was!
  • There’s a game element, too: you earn points whenever you check in. In fact, whoever visits a certain place the most becomes its “mayor,” and may be rewarded by a giveaway from that business.

    If you have nothing else to do in the summer! If you expect students to work over the summer then this is a good way to keep up with things the starting the year will be more seamless.

Virginia First State to Require Internet Safety Lessons - Science News | Science & Tech... - 1 views

    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!
  • Andrew Stevens on 11 Jul 10
     
    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.
  • Melissa Reams on 11 Jul 10
     
    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???

    Hey guys...I found this site to be very helpful, especially for those parents who have absolutely NO CLUE what is going on even if they are looking at their child's acivity. Felt this tied into our blogging this week...but this is more geared to the drug side of technology use (which is so depressing)

    It is just plain sad to me that kids go online to find "new" ways to get high! Keeping the parents educated is the key to keeping kids safe. It has to start at home. I know as educators we also play an important role, but parents have to constantly monitor what their kids are doing on the web.

    I like how there are several different categories parents to use as resources. Cell phones, social networking, and even music.
