I Want My Web 2_0: It's a SAFETY ISSUE!!

IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!
  • The first thing you should stringently advocate is IMMEDIATE filter override capabilities ON YOUR CAMPUS.
  •  This is  the subject of my next article in Multimedia@Internet@School. It is titled Want Kids To Be Safe Online? LOOSEN Those Filters!

     

  • Who should have rights?
    • Principal
    • Assistant Principal
    • Technology teacher
    • Librarian
    • Counselor
    • This is minimal!
  • Why is this so?
    • Scenario one: Student is posting worrisome content to a social networking site that suggests harm may come to self or others.
    • Scenario two: Students make fake pages in the names of teachers and/or administrators
    • Scenario three: Rumors are circulating that affect your campus
    • Should you really not be able to access these sites from school???
  • If we do not teach students to be safe and smart online, they are babes in the woods when they are at home or elsewhere without filters.
  • If teachers cannot be offered staff development about these sites, how can they teach students?
