"We have devised an interactive curriculum aimed to support teachers of secondary students (approximately ages 13-17). The curriculum helps educate students on topics like: YouTube's policies How to report content on YouTube How to protect their privacy online How to be responsible YouTube community members How to be responsible digital citizens We hope that students and educators gain useful skills and a holistic understanding about responsible digital citizenship, not only on YouTube, but in all online activity."

Thanks Peter. That's going to come in handy this year as WRDSB opens Youtube in limited access.

Transparency can be both empowering and inhibiting. Ask some of my students who try to make excuses for work not being done. Since my classes are fully digital, the Internet catches these folks every time...date stamping, digital attendance notes, permanent links. Plausible deniability just doesn't cut it. Because of this, youth need to learn a whole new accountability. Fortunately, many of my students are stepping up...and they're going places with this whole new mindset.

This would be a cool project and field trip!

It seems as though teens are becoming conditioned to be "on call" through texting with cell phones. Some youth say they feel social pressure to answer each other's text messages regardless of the time of day, and that's causing problems at home and at school. Teachers are concerned about the impact of interruptions on learning, and school administrators are responding with policies on cell phone-use in schools. But how can the education system guide teens through confronting compulsion if students are conditioned to be "on-call"? Can kids find the self-control to plan time with their cell phones efficiently?
