EFF Says Google Chromebooks Are Still Spying on Students - 0 views

  •  
    Google still hasn't shed its "bad guy" clothes when it comes to the data it collects on underage students. In fact, the Electronic Frontier Foundation says the company continues to massively collect and store information on children without their consent or their parents'. Not even school administrators fully understand the extent of this operation, the EFF says.

Teaching the Facebook generation - for once the media gets it right! - 1 views

  • today's teachers are finding it harder to keep their distance
  • For each new arm of social media that opens up, so do new dilemmas for teachers, students and parents
  • Most teachers and schools have had to wise up quickly to cope with the rapid and massive uptake of Facebook and mobile technology in the past 10 years
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Some educators say the social-media bans in schools are overkill and privacy fears have overshadowed the positive educational opportunities social media can offer students.
  • It is known, too, that students also access social-networking sites and post to them during class time via mobile phones or by circumventing the network blocks.
  • ''Ineffective policy is to ban use; prohibition has never worked,''
  • doesn't matter how impoverished a young person may be, they will have access to social networks daily, they find ways to get online through public libraries, internet cafes, at their friend's house or on their mobile
  • Common advice for teachers is to be familiar with privacy settings on social-networking sites, perhaps maintain a private and professional account (although this is not permitted on Facebook) and to set a search-engine alert for their own name, so adverse mentions can be detected early and dealt with.
  • So can, or should, a teacher be Facebook friends with a student?

Moving beyond one size fits on in Digital Citizenship in Schools - 2 views

  • In this climate of need for policy and the lack of availability of such policy, schools are left to be the initiators and implementers of internally developed policy.
  • The shift is not an easy one and circles back to the need for pedagogy to grow more line with digital tools
  • Keeping technology outside of the school doors, and creating different islands of responsibility, from parents, to educators, to kids will do little to stem incidents of cyberbullying, sexting, and other online transgressions that play out offline.
  •  
    Schools have significantly different needs and ideas regarding on-line safety, much of it dependent upon their experience and comfort on the spectrum of users of digital media to promote student success. It is necessary for schools and communities to work together to demystify the potential uses and abuses of digital media within and outside the school setting. Understanding the potential for cyberbullying, sexting, or other inappropriate consumption and planning for responsible reactions to such is a priority for the community that wishes to harness the potential of the tools while also keeping children safe.
