    An excellent article to make the case for digital citizenship education, I love the quote at the end that the law "can't take the place of good manners, social norms, and etiquette." Do we think that students just develop good manners on their own? Perhaps manners, norms, and etiquette would much better evolve with multiple generations and ages working together as we discuss and grapple with such issues. This is another excellent article about the changing state of the law and the Internet and includes the precedent that anonymous doesn't really mean anonymous any more - particularly if the anonymous person breaks the law.

  • Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately. Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage.

  • Many American classrooms are almost indistinguishable from those that students' grandparents attended.  Twenty-something students still sit in desks facing the front of the classroom, with textbooks, listening to a generalist teacher.
  • A new perspective is needed.  Americans need to consider the fundamental question:  How can we most effectively teach kids the skills they need? 
  • Traditional schools may be best for some students, while others will thrive in moire high-tech learning centers.

  • Parents can augment or even replace their children's traditional school experience with programs from companies like K-12.  This service allows parents to enroll children in virtual schools or purchase specific curriculum.  Traditional materials—worksheets, books, and other physical materials—are combined with online resources, including multimedia presentations. 
  • If We Can Change the Way We Communicate, We Can Change the Way We Educate
  • Steve Jobs' passing last week encouraged Americans to consider how technology has transformed our lives.  Fueled by the creative genius of men like Jobs, new technology has emerged allowing us to better keep in touch with friends and family, access entertainment and information, and perform work from home or wherever we happen to be at that moment.  While we've successfully integrated technology into our workplaces and personal lives, we've been comparatively slow to apply technology's power to other areas of life, like education.  That needs to change.

    used for teaching fair use to students "these clips allow students to practice explaining why something is fair use" "you could divide the class into groups and have every group discuss the same scenario and then come back together to see if groups agree. Or you could divide up the class and give every group a difference scenario to discuss. The groups could then report back and see if their classmates agree or disagree with them. Finally, you could choose one scenario and divide the class in half. Have one group argue for fair use and one argue against fair use. Whose argument is stronger and what does the class ultimately believe is the right answer? " "Have them give any and all arguments that they think explain why the video is fair use. "

  • * Set privacy options.

  • * Know who is looking at your profile
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • * Don't "friend" everyone
  • Don't let your child's profiles on social websites be available to everyone. Explain to your child why it's important to have the highest security and privacy settings. Parents should monitor their children's use of the computer while they're on the Internet.
  • Children and teens should think about who will be looking at their profile. Many people will be able to see their page, including parents, teachers, coaches, the police and the college or the job they might want to apply for in the next few years. They should post only the information they are comfortable with others seeing about them.
  • Merely deleting a post doesn't mean it's not still available for others to see in cyberspace. It is important for children and teens to know that once you press the "send" or "post" button, there is no going back. Think about keeping some control over the information you post. Consider restricting access to your page to a select group of people — for example, your friends or your family.
  • Unfortunately there are dangerous people who may be creeping
  • * Don't divulge too much information.
  • Now that school has started children and teens are spending more time online doing school work, research, and socializing. As soon as a child starts using the computer and Internet, it's time to talk with them about online behavior, safety and security. Parents need to know what to do to ensure their child is safe online, in texting, blogging, Facebook and visiting other Internet sites.
