Reclaiming the Web for the Next Generation | DMLcentral - 0 views

  • These startups grow up into many-headed hydras with a thirst for the most intimate details about our online habits

      I agree, and with the push for innovation and the "next big thing," we often give up privacy and information without even realizing it.

  • I often come across people willing trade privacy for convenience.

  • when you are not paying for something, then you are the product.

      We see this a lot with educational spaces. They are free (so teachers are apt to try them to save money that they don't have in their classroom budget) but then forget what they are trading: the eyes of their students, and advertising dollars.
  • we need to be able to see the damage we are causing as a first step toward solving it. Words, like the ones you are reading now, often are not enough.

      But I also like to think that, as a teacher, direct lessons around privacy and digital lives can make a difference, if not immediate, then long-term. I remain hopeful of that.
  • First, our collective move away from open standards and decentralisation means that choosing to use a different service involves significant social impact. Second, even if an alternative does rear its head, the ending is all-too-familiar: it is acquired and swallowed by one of the huge incumbents
  • Each subsidiary company is branded differently, so we often forget where all the data streams are ultimately heading.
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      So true.
  • We are training for compliance rather than creating an informed, questioning citizenry.
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      Again, another teaching moment that often gets lost. What about teaching how to read "terms of service" agreements? Eh?
  • For the next generation, will they know the difference between the Internet and Google or Facebook? Will they, to put it bluntly, know the difference between a public good and a private company?

Free Technology for Teachers: 7 Services for Sending Group Texts to Parents and Students - 0 views

  •  
    People, particularly teenagers, have an almost compulsive reaction to open text messages when their phones beep or buzz. So if you want to quickly deliver an important message to student or parent today, sending a text message is the best way to do it. Managing a list of cell phone numbers can be a daunting task.
  •  
    I love love love this site freetech4teachers.com and today just got a twitter alert about using group texting programs. Will be looking at inviting my parents and students to opt in, will be exploring both Class Parrot and Kikutext this weekend. Anyone have any experience with either program? This will be the first step at upping the communication between families and the classroom.

How to Teach Students About Digital Identity | Edvoices - 0 views

  •  
    When I was in the classroom, I worked hard to integrate social learning into the day as often as possible. Many teachers claim that they understand the importance of social learning, and that they teach and practice social skills with their students throughout the day.
