  • The truth is that students who engage in risky behaviors offline are more likely to engage in risky behaviors online.

      I think this is a key moment in this article.... 
  • Help students build positive digital footprints. Whether they're working to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur—a project that George Mayo's students tackled (http://stopgenocide.wikispaces.com)—or doing a good deed every day for a month and sharing about it online—an initiative that 10-year-old Laura Stockman started to honor her grandfather's life (http://twentyfivedays.wordpress.com)—today's teens and tweens can come together electronically to learn about and act on issues that matter.

      It would be nice if all of this reflecting about personal projects and CAS hours were visible and online instead of hid in a place on ManageBac where no one can see...
  • Scare tactics like those my 7th grade informants described are not only ineffective at changing student behaviors (Online Safety and Technology Working Group, 2010), but they also prevent students from seeing digital footprints as potential tools for learning, finding like-minded peers, and building reputations as thoughtful contributors to meaningful digital conversations.

  • Although some students are at risk because of careless choices—openly talking about sex in digital forums, posting inappropriate pictures of themselves or their friends to the Web, or failing to act when confronted with dangerous situations in social media spaces—those risks are often poorly understood by teachers, who receive little training about how to effectively introduce Internet safety and new media literacies to students (Online Safety and Technology Working Group, 2010).
  • Responsible Internet safety programs are tiered: Although all students receive basic training about responsible online behaviors, students who—because of psychosocial factors—are at higher risk in online spaces receive more targeted instruction
  • Whether we're comfortable with it or not, digital footprints—which Richardson defines as "online portfolios of who we are, what we do, and by association, what we know"—are an inevitable by-product of life in a connected world. Instead of teaching students to be afraid of what others can learn about them online, let's teach them how digital footprints can quickly connect them to the individuals, ideas, and opportunities that they care most about.

    The students gave me a definition right out of my worst nightmare: Digital footprints are the trails people leave behind when they live online-and Internet predators use these trails to track down careless tweens and teens. "At our elementary school, they really tried to scare us," explained a group member. "It's like they wanted us to be afraid of what would happen if we used the Internet."

  • Students should sign a release for BYOD that includes what will happen in cases of theft and damaged technology Schools should have half-sets or quarter-sets of devices so that they can go one-to-one. A few school-wide behavior guidelines make sense: Devices away when the teacher is talking (unless instructed to do so) During individual assignments, students can use devices and have their headphones on Students need to use the devices for the purpose of learning and a teacher can require a student to put it away if it becomes a distraction Teachers can attend optional training on apps, classroom management and how to integrate the tools into the curriculum. One group had the idea of letting teachers watch a BYOD class in action, or even having a “test class” that tries it out for a quarter before going school-wide.

    Great model for student input on crafting a BYOD policy for a school.
