  • more than 90% of technology coordinators, school administrators and teachers support teaching cyberethics, cybersafety and cybersecurity in schools. 
  • In the past 12 months, of the 1,000 teachers surveyed, only 27% taught about the safe use of social networks, only 18% taught about scams, fraud and social engineering, and only 19% taught about safe passwords. Additionally, 32% indicated they had not taught cyberethics, and 44% had not taught cybersafety or cybersecurity. 
  • More than 50% of teachers reported that their school district did not require the topics be taught and more the 75% reported receiving less than 6 hours of professional development on these topics.

    "Cyber-bullying, as defined by Chapter 92 of the Massachusetts Acts of 2010, is bullying through the use of technology or any electronic communication, which will include, but will not be limited to, any transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or in part by a wire, radio, electromagnetic, photo electronic or photo optical system, including, but not limited to, electronic mail, internet communications, instant messages or facsimile communications. Cyber-bullying also includes: · the creation of a web page or blog in which the creator assumes the identity of another person or · the knowing impersonation of another person as the author of posted content or messages, if the creation or impersonation creates any of the conditions included in the definition of bullying above. Cyber-bullying will also include the distribution by electronic means of a communication to one or more persons or the posting of material on an electronic medium that may be accessed by one or more persons, if the distribution or posting creates any of the conditions included in the definition of bullying above."

      If kids do nothing else, this would, I believe, keep them safe.
  • First rule of smart surfing? Remain as anonymous as possible. That means keeping all private information private. Here are some examples of private information that you should never give out on the Internet: full name home address phone number Social Security number passwords names of family members credit card numbers Most credible people and companies will never ask for this type of information online. So if someone does, it's a red flag that they may be up to no good.
  • If you don't recognize the sender of a document or file that needs to be downloaded, delete it without opening it to avoid getting a virus on your machine. Virus protection software is a must for every computer. You can also buy software that helps rid your computer of unwanted spyware programs that report what your computer is doing. Some service providers make software available to protect you from these and other online annoyances, such as blockers for those in-your-face pop-up ads.

  • f you ever get involved in a chat room conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable or in danger for any reason, exit and tell a parent or other adult right away so they can report the incident. You can also report it to the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children — they have a form for reporting this type of incident called CyberTipline. They will then see that the info is forwarded to law enforcement officials for investigation.

      This is an article about different tools that teachers need to be aware about when using technology in the classroom. We know that the internet is not always a safe place for students and there are many things that are being done at a district level that translates over into the classroom. Firewalls, filtering systems, and publishing restrictions help to keep student and teacher information private while ensuring that they do not visit sites with inappropriate content. As in every faucet of the education world, the teacher serves as the model for each individual student.
  • the Internet is NOT a safe or secure environment. It is an ever-changing medium where anyone and everyone can voice their opinions, share their ideas, demonstrate new technologies, publish software applications, and connect with others.

      The ever-changing medium of the internet provides many opportunities to further learning but we need to teach students to take safety precautions as well.
  • These concerns all must be addressed while looking out for the educational interests of students.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Typically, the AUP describes the privilege (not the right) of computer use and/or Internet access for students and teachers in the school, as well as some guidelines and penalties for violations of the agreement.
  • Firewalls are often used to prohibit teachers or students from downloading free software, submitting certain information online, or opening e-mail attachments. Downloads and e-mail attachments can deliver viruses that can debilitate computer systems. They can also compromise the security of a school network, leaving students' and teachers' personal information like grades, names, addresses, and other private information open to hackers and other illegal entities.
  • This restricts access to certain sites, based on keywords or phrases that are deemed unacceptable.
  • They may keep students from visiting legitimate sites that contain sensitive keywords. If students in a health class are researching cancer, they may be unable to view pages relating to breast cancer because of the filtering of the word "breast." Some filters prohibit the use of chat or even message boards and blogs due to inappropriate content and safety risks for students.
  • Internet safety goes beyond the scope of what you can access online. It also concerns what you can post or publish on a Web site.
  • Modeling and class discussions about these issues are worth the time.

10 Big Myths about copyright explained - 0 views

copyright law reference fair_use technology plagiarism cybersafety education

shared by Jennifer Jensen on 31 Mar 10 - Cached
  • There is a major exception -- criticism and parody. The fair use provision says that if you want to make fun of something like Star Trek, you don't need their permission to include Mr. Spock. This is not a loophole; you can't just take a non-parody and claim it is one on a technicality. The way "fair use" works is you get sued for copyright infringement, and you admit you did copy, but that your copying was a fair use. A subjective judgment on, among other things, your goals, is then made.

  • These days, almost all things are copyrighted the moment they are written, and no copyright notice is required. Copyright is still violated whether you charged money or not, only damages are affected by that. Postings to the net are not granted to the public domain, and don't grant you any permission to do further copying except perhaps the sort of copying the poster might have expected in the ordinary flow of the net. Fair use is a complex doctrine meant to allow certain valuable social purposes. Ask yourself why you are republishing what you are posting and why you couldn't have just rewritten it in your own words. Copyright is not lost because you don't defend it; that's a concept from trademark law. The ownership of names is also from trademark law, so don't say somebody has a name copyrighted. Fan fiction and other work derived from copyrighted works is a copyright violation. Copyright law is mostly civil law where the special rights of criminal defendants you hear so much about don't apply. Watch out, however, as new laws are moving copyright violation into the criminal realm. Don't rationalize that you are helping the copyright holder; often it's not that hard to ask permission. Posting E-mail is technically a violation, but revealing facts from E-mail you got isn't, and for almost all typical E-mail, nobody could wring any damages from you for posting it. The law doesn't do much to protect works with no commercial value.
  • This applies to pictures, too. You may not scan pictures from magazines and post them to the net, and if you come upon something unknown, you shouldn't post that either.
    • Julie Fletcher
      Julie Fletcher on 06 Jun 10
       
      Whether or not these rules apply completely to using information for educational purposes, it is important to not only expose students to how broad these laws actually are but to get them into the habit of providing citations for all pictures and information used in projects. It might even be a good lesson to get students to request usage rights from a photographer or author.
  • However, none of this applies to material from the modern era, such as net postings.
    • Julie Fletcher
      Julie Fletcher on 06 Jun 10
       
      Again, better to be safe than sorry. That said, it is sometimes difficult to find the author information, especially with pictures. It seems to me that one should always make a good faith attempt, perhaps by listing something like "Author unknown" and listing the site where the piece was found.

  • Making a Public, Filtered Wi-Fi Over at the Katy (Texas) ISD, content is not a concern, because the district has been preparing for BYOD in a number of ways. Two years ago, when the tech staff handed out mobile phones to fifth graders for a pilot project, they saw incredible instructional results, says Lenny Schad, chief information officer. Security was a nonissue, because Schad created a public Wi-Fi at the elementary school that was filtered in the same way the wired network was.
