    The Connect.ed program covers: cyberbullying; sexting; excessive internet use; mobile use; e-security; managing your digital reputation; and digital profiling. It also "advises teachers on what young people of all ages are doing online and draws on Australian experts in the cybersafety field, as well as on teachers and students themselves," ACMA says.

    I think that we'd all agree with these eight points, especially those regarding time. There is definitely a role for the teacher librarian in facilitating these strategies.

How Social Media is Changing Education [Infographic] - Edudemic - 0 views

  •  
    I began to read this with great anticipation but, in the end, it's s set of useful statistics and diagrams on social media use by tertiary educators and institutions for communication rather than a detailed explanation of the use of social media in learning. The information about US college applications and social media is a wake-up call as well.

How Schools Can Use Facebook to Build an Online Community - 3 views

  •  
    I plan to do social media for my assignment but with an emphasis on learning. This, on the other hand, is a comprehensive blueprint of how schools can use a facebook page to keep in touch with its community. It's an easy-to-use addition but not a replacement for "a robust website". Worth reading as he discusses the sort of information that might be included and how schools can control the use and misuse of that information.

    At the start of the year we were given the Horizon Report on the future of technology and learning to read. One of the more distant predications was the use of gaming for learning. This article is from the NY times. It is followed by a Q&A with Thomas Paul Gee.

    I came across this through a comment posting on another site. Catherine Cronin runs parent awareness workshops on interent safety and digital citizenship. This is page of links from her wiki. The rest of the site is worth exploring as well.

Lateline - 15/04/2011: Anti-sexting campaign branded dull, unrealistic - 3 views

  •  
    This is a disturbing story. While the comments of PhD researcher, Ninia Funnell, make sense on one level, her comments about age and the law don't match the child protection law in NSW. As Michael Flood points out childhood curiosity can lead to unplanned consequences, which is one reason legislation seeks to protect children.

Lateline Business - 30/03/2011: The business of social media - 0 views

  •  
    It's not just educators who are exploring the potential of social media. View the segment or read the transcript and learn why social media is important to connecting with young people, including (somewhat surprisingly) young males. The discussion also includes digital identity, digital footprint and the use of twitter. Quite revealing.
