| internet safety | danah boyd says that because of dateline - predators are now in more danger online than youth |
| insight from danah via email | from me to danah:
hey danah. thank you for the quick response.
i've been involved in a lot of conversations about filtering the web for public school. in my district, on twitter, #edchat, etc.
currently i'm thinking we should have no filter.
i think if we avoid the places kids can access outside of school per cipa - we are not doing all we can for safety.
i think we wait too long for everyone to get on board - to feel comfortable with change - especially in ed. i sense that now with filtering - and it's the kids that lose.
i need your sound advice. i apologize for cutting to the chase - meaning to you - but i can't find a reason that makes sense to me to filter.
reasons i've been given are:
1. safety - i don't see filtering as the safest way.
2. money - because of #1 - i don't think following cipa guidelines is worth the money
head me off at the pass sweet - i'm becoming wreckless to
her brilliant response:
In general, I agree with you, provided that you have school monitors in your computer room. I think that teacher monitors (and parents) being present serve as much more effective filters than technology. Shaming is much more effective than blocking. And if you're not providing a hurdle for students to circumnavigate, you end up reducing the rebellion effect. But the key is to have present adults who are willing and able to push back at students. I do think that educators can and should help youth safely navigate all of the sites that they go to, learn to look out for signs of problems (like phishing scams) and, in general, be a source of media literacy education. But I know it's tough and a lot of educators aren't prepared to do it. So they hope it'll all go away.
Good luck with recklessly changing ed!! It needs to happen!
danah
me back:
thank you danah. so sweet of you to take the time.
insight that i needed. wasn't even thinking of using parents as filters.
as i anticipated - your wording is so clear. and with no wreckless spelling.
26 kids and i are working on unboxing ed - logging it all on our site. would you mind if i posted this email exchange there - with our morphing thoughts of web use?
so you don't have to write back - i'll assume you're ok with it if i don't hear from you soon.
danah:
by all means! |

| what we should pass on/model in regard to personal learning networks | per will richardson -
learn to do it 1) safely 2) ethically 3) efficiently
Most importantly, we must stop making this a conversation about technology. This is learning as it exists one decade into the 21st century. The longer we wait to accept that, the less prepared our students will be. •••

***the pods are coming, david truss
watch all of this | comment from david: Thanks for joining me! Wireless, Filters, Policies/ Attitudes: Money will always be an issue… but we need to get over hurdles like full wireless and unblocked access and willingness to change, so that when the elephants start pouring into our classrooms we actually do more than acknowledge, that we do more than just use them as calculators. see above for just sonya woloshen's interviews |

| more from @willrich45 | why we should break the web 2.0 barrier article by will richardson
"right now, millions of our children are using these social-Web technologies without any adults—either at school or home—teaching them how to leverage the potentials or how to use them safely, ethically, and responsibly. That reality is unacceptable."
1. info in flux (teach them to organize with wikis and collaborate with delicious and diigo...)
2. reputation management (let's teach them to be safe/smart)
3. ubiquitous learning (it permeates them except in school - let's let them use all tools for ed)
4. learning built on networks and passions (passion-based learning - oh so cool, let's teach safety) ie: fanfiction.net
5. create self-directed life-long learners
Web 2.0 is less about publishing than it is about connecting around what we publish, and that requires time, practice, and an appreciation for the responsibilities and skills required of us.
Development Council, teacher education needs to be “sustained, focused on important content, and embedded in the work of collaborative professional learning teams.” And just
as immersion is the best way to learn a foreign language, immersion into social networks with trusted guides and mentors is an effective way not only to provide context but to actually shift teacher practice. |

these ideas are way out there. where we should be quite honestly. but we need the masses
letter from croatia ning:
MsBlazic has sent you a message on English for Class IIIA
You should have seen my sts today when I showed them the Me videos and when I
told them about our plans. They asked: Do they know about us? As if they were
afraid this might only be between you and me.
So they want everything, they'll do everything we want (gosh, how I love to be a
teacher!), if I just let them connect with your sts. They invited your sts to
join our ning. They also wanted me to write the address of your ning on this
site so that they can see all the videos. Do you mind? They promised to make
some videos about themselves over the weekend, well not all, some are too shy,
they say.
Sonja, our new member, is a Math and ICT teacher, a good friend of mine and very
supportive and helpful in the matters of ICT.
I'm so much looking forward to this.
*the real IT revolution in teaching and learning won't happen until each student builds a personal cyberinfrastructure that is as thoughtfully, rigorously, and expressively composed as an excellent essay or an ingenious experiment.
and it won't happen in teaching until the teacher experiences this as well. |
