Vigilante Justice •…in Coventry, England…Mary Bale, 45, found herself caught in the crosshairs of the reputation executor that is the web this week after a surveillance video of her placing a cat in a garbage bin went viral. Now, the Internet is replete with parodies, groups and spin-offs dedicated to bringing Bale down. According to The New York Times, Lola the cat was discovered unhappily yowling in a garbage bin outside the home of owners Stephanie and Daryll Mann. In hopes of discovering who had trashed kitty, the couple looked at security footage of the area, which showed an unidentified middle-aged woman petting the cat, and then dropping it in the trash. The couple posted the video online, naturally, in an attempt to find out who the woman was. Subsequently, Bale received death threats, and information like her address and her boss’s phone number were spread around the web. Although Bale was placed under police protection (due to the aforementioned death threats) she did issue an apology yesterday after Facebook was forced to take down a group titled “Death to Mary Bale.”

In just the past week alone, the class has completed assignments that involve use of Google Earth to learn about latitude and longitude, map types and geographic features of parts of Canada. Each student was able to view numerous sites that highlight maps and graphs about weather and climate data. None of this would have been possible using overbooked computer labs and text based/wall map resources”. Teacher of grade 9 applied geography
- 113. Individual Stories Matter • Where do we start? “In September when we had our 'meet the teacher night', one mother walked around with her iPhone in hand talking to teachers. Through Skype, her husband, a soldier currently deployed in Afghanistan, was able to fully participate in the various meetings. I chatted with him myself. In addition to talking to everyone, he could see and be seen by staff”. High School V.P. “Students are doing patterns, they start at the Smart Board, the kids arrange a pattern then ask another in the class what is the pattern, just as if they were running the class. After several patterns, the kids are equipped with iPods, iPads and digital cameras with the objective of finding patterns in the school. It was a fun day at school” Gr. 1 teacher
- 114. Individual Stories Matter •“I have used Smart phones to allow instant research in the classroom... If the information is not crucial that they memorize but is background information on a text, it can be quite powerful. For example, we are currently looking at Animal Farm, and I needed to provide some context regarding the Russian Revolution. Some of the students were not getting it, so in 2-3 minutes they had looked up relevant information on the topic (example: Leon Trotsky) and were able to give some background immediately. As the students found the information, this will be more relevant than me telling them the information” H.S. teacher
- 115. Individual Stories Matter • “A number of our students with learning disabilities use their cell phones to set alarms for reminders of assignments and tests” “Lots of students use their cell phones and iPods as agendas” “In our Math classes many students use them for doing mathematical problems, no longer any excuse that they don't have calculators in their classroom” “I have used IPODs with a splitter in the classroom, so that students can listen to a lesson, a movie, etc. together” “I have used IPODs/smart phones to have students record their voice responses to questions/tests after broken arms. They then download it or have me listen to it directly” H.S. teachers

- The Key to Change is not found on a website, not in a book, not from a presenter, the key to change is each individual in this room – throughout the workshop - consider a call to action with three words – JUST DO IT
- As Directors and Superintendents, and other system leaders – you hold keys and positional power that others at the classroom level don’t have - how are you using those keys – to open new opportunities for learning, or to lock down past safe practices
- What is your mode of operation – one of fear and caution or one of curiosity and exploration?
- Mid-size School Board, 2nd largest in OttawaOutline of our BoardMy Background and portfolio- Family of schools S.O. with 12 schools, Assessment and Evaluation portfolio, Equity and Inclusive Education portfolio, and Learning Technologies department responsibilities

- Given the massive changes in the world, has your district kept up?
- Two minute discussion

- Wikipedia entry:Dog Poop GirlIn 2005 in South Korea, bloggers targeted a woman who refused to clean up when her dog defecated on the floor of a Seoul subway car, labeling her "Dog Poop Girl" (rough translation of 'Korean: 개똥녀' into English). Another commuter had taken a photograph of the woman and her dog, and posted it on a popular Korean website.[11] Within days, she had been identified by internet vigilantes, and much of her personal information was exposed on the World Wide Web in an attempt to punish her for the offense. The story received mainstream attention when it was widely reported in South Korean media. The public humiliation led the woman to quit university, according to reports.[12]The reaction by Korean citizens to the incident prompted several Korean newspapers to run editorials voicing concern over Internet vigilantism. One paper quoted Daniel Solove as saying that the woman was the victim of a "cyber-posse, tracking down norm violators and branding them with digital Scarlet Letters."[13] Another called it an "Internet witch-hunt," and went on to say that "the Internet is turning the whole society into a kangaroo court."[14]

The story received mainstream attention when it was widely reported in South Korean media. The public humiliation led the woman to quit university, according to reports.[12]The reaction by Korean citizens to the incident prompted several Korean newspapers to run editorials voicing concern over Internet vigilantism. One paper quoted Daniel Solove as saying that the woman was the victim of a "cyber-posse, tracking down norm violators and branding them with digital Scarlet Letters."[13] Another called it an "Internet witch-hunt," and went on to say that "the Internet is turning the whole society into a kangaroo court."[14]
- Wikipedia entry:Cat dumped in wheelie binIn August 2010, a passer-by in Coventry, England later identified as Mary Bale by 4chan's members,[33] was caught on a private security camera stroking a cat, named Lola, then looking around and dumping her in a wheelie bin, where she was found by her owners 15 hours later. The owners posted the video on the Internet in a bid to identify the woman, who was later interviewed by the RSPCA about her conduct. Outrage was sparked among animal lovers, and a Facebook group called "Death to Mary Bale" was created, and later removed. Police said they were speaking to the 45-year-old about her personal safety.[34]The woman, who at first downplayed her actions ("I thought it would be funny", "it's just a cat" and "didn't see what all the fuss was about")[35][36] eventually apologised "profusely for the upset and distress".[37]Bale has been convicted under the Animal Welfare Act of 2006 with causing unnecessary suffering to a cat. An additional charge of failing to provide the cat with a suitable environment was dropped.[38] She was fined £250 and ordered to pay costs, totaling £1,436.04.
