    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 .

  • 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.

    I recently saw an episode of The Colbert Report where Nicholas Carr carefully examines the most important topic in contemporary culture; the mental and social transformation created by our new electronic environment. The challenge will be to stay off the web long enough to read his book! This is an interview about his previous book (same topic). Here is a link: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/185695/september-25-2008/nicholas-carr

    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.

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?
  • Stacy Palkovics on 11 Jul 10
     
    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???

    This article talks about the importance of getting the parents involved and educated about what their children are doing on the computer. It ultimately starts at home and parents need to check the internet and constantly monitor what their kids are doing and who they are communicating with.

    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)
  • Stacy Palkovics on 11 Jul 10
     
    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.
  • Andrew Stevens on 11 Jul 10
     
    I like how there are several different categories parents to use as resources. Cell phones, social networking, and even music.

    This is a video from a news show in Chicago. Good one for parents to watch to see what kids are doing on facebook/myspace and to find out ways to protect them. I liked how the guy in the video said that kids don't just use it for social purposes, but that some of them have homework or school groups to help each other out. Even though that is probably 1% of teenagers it was still nice to see that aspect spoken about.

    This may have been the worst interview I have ever seen, but the content was important. I did like how he gave a plug for academic uses as well.

  • Shannon Mejia on 16 Jul 10
     
    Wow- this is going to be a great show! I think if students see what really happens to those who are affected by sexting that they will think twice before sending out a nude picture or message that may affect someone's self esteem and reputation in the long run.

    This scares the crap out or me. Cell phone cameras have made it so easy for kids to take risque pictures and forward them on. What they don't realize is that once they have sent it out, it is out there for the whole world to see and most of them have not clue how harsh the consequences can be.. Iike the 17 year old in this artlice charged with child pornography after posting pictures of his 16 year old girlfriend online. YIKES!
  • Tia Brown on 17 Jul 10
     
    Stacy I have to laugh at all your posts, because most of them are against technology use, but I know you do like using technology. That being said this worries me too. Because how far does this go? Kids are not only texting naked pics, but have you ever seen the filth they post on their facebook pages? I have and it disgusts me and worries me. I wonder if boys who have nasty pics of girls could be given child porn charges like this boy who texted them, cause facebook reaches a whole lot more people than just 70 friends on your list or even 2,000 kids in a school.

    I must say that I agree with the majority of this article. I feel like the advantages of technology far outweigh the disadvantages; however; the invansion of privacy is a huge disadvantage which is becoming increasingly out of control. As parents, we need to continue to constantly monitor what our children are posting and texting.
