"people in their 20s exert more control over their digital reputations than older adults, more vigorously deleting unwanted posts and limiting information about themselves."
It is good news about the older teenagers, and those in their 20's however as noted in the article "Younger teenagers were not included in these studies, and they may not have the same privacy concerns. But anecdotal evidence suggests that many of them have not had enough experience to understand the downside to oversharing". These kids need to be our target audience when talking about cybersafety etc, as like with many other facets of a teenagers life, they don't necessarily have the "fear factor" and understand the long term risks.
This month, Facebook introduced Places, which adds some Foursquare-like features to its social network. If Places catches on with Facebook’s 500 million users, many think it could bring location-sharing to the masses.
Ms. Aley has chosen to use the app to also reveal her location to her Facebook friends and Twitter followers. The rewards make using the app worthwhile, she said, and the privacy trade-off “really never crossed my mind.”
I like how this picture mimics that of the SixthSense video - makes the reality that much closer and shows some of the steps along the way - giving up information to get discounts.
a pretty good video re personal profiles and reputations. Unfortunately for an Aussie audience the sport is baseball, and maybe our rugby players and crickteers sully their reps in person rather than online..., but see what you think
It's a means of sending an email to various other people at once. For example, you might send an email addressed to a parent concerning a manner but you'd CC the same email to your year level co-ordinator so they know exactly what you're communicating to said parent.
c Set
up your own collection of RSS feeds
Once RSS is demonstrated to staff through sites such as Pageflakes staff may see how the benefit of the web working for the user rather than trawling through google.
Yes, what about great online presentation tools? How much (if at all?) do we still have to play by the "Everyone needs to know MS suite so schools need to do this as 'Job Prep?'" Do you feel this as a need in your schools?

Is this more of a "basic" skill that we assume that all educators already know? If this section is regarding posting documents, we are talking about a different set of skills.
I assume this is a somewhat mandatory skill that users of Word Processing applications should have. How unprofessional to read a doc that has spelling errors etc!!
Yes, any means - Moodle, Wordpress, Sharepoint, etc. - the idea is that we have a professional responsibility to make core documents available. Do you agree?
Consider
taking an active role in an online community.
That's why setting up an in-house system where you can create a large number of individual student accounts at the start of the year (such as VBulletin) comes in very handy.
Any ideas about the best way to do this? Should it be a WEB 2.0 application, such as Dropbox? Or is bandwith use a concern, so a LAN setup should be used?
Just to save on costs, you'd probably have to do it over a LAN. It would also create a more reliable system, since an intranet/local network is less likely to fail than the connection to outside resources.
Create
opportunities for students to synthesise their learning through projects that
call for a creative, problem-solving or innovative response.

Twitter is excellent for following like minded people and sharing thoughts, opinions and ideas about education and web 2.0 technologies.
Choose
at least one work that you are willing to publish to the Web and do so. This may be in any format: visual,
written, video, audio, presentation, etc. The forum may be a wiki,
professional journal, educators’ social network, iTunes, etc.
How do you ensure appropriate content, privacy of other students, etc, in an environment where students can publish content for the world to see? Can you effectively?
This is GREAT. Now we just need an online database so we can take a good long hard look at our own skills and those of other staff. I don't think this should be threatening to anyone, but guide them through some essential skills.
