Editor's Notes
- 9:10 Riding The Web 2.0 Roller Coaster: Buckle Up, Prepare for Fear ... and Exhilaration..as we consider how we can Successfully Implement Web 2.0 Tools in Schools while we inspect our rides, buckle in and keep our children safe.
- Close your eyes – think about the big coaster…. What does it feel like to ride a roller coaster? How about dealing with the challenges of Web 2.0, Social Media Tools, SmartPhones, Texting……? Would it depend on your role? How many parents? Administrators? Teachers? Mental health professionals? Board Members? Community? Most days I feel like the gal in this photo. Oddly enough – This is The Millenium Roller Coaster – How perfect for us today. Great context as we consider the ride we are on with our Millenials or Gen Y’s as they are sometimes called, born in Mid 1970’s to early 2000’s – now in JH/HS and our young teaching staff. Analogy to a Roller Coaster - Quote - Quentin Briggs If fun but it's scary. It's built with innovation in mind but not perfect because humans had a part in its creation. It takes you through very unfamiliar and unanticipated turns but once you know where the turns are you are prepare to enjoy it on the next time around. Also, when it's over you can't help but talk about the experience, both the fear and the excitement. For many, they will go back on because they want to conquer the fear the experience even more and often look for the challenge of a bigger rollercoaster. Great analogy for us today.
- 9:15 Three Big Picture questions we will examine today: Challenges – Why is this such a tough issue for our schools? How do we better understand our 21st Century learners and how well do they understand the consequences of their behaviors? What can we do to lay a strong foundation – help prevent misuse/difficult situations in our schools? Let’s get started. Share a little about our journey – you may be further along and we look forward to learning from you as well today.
- Have you ever ridden a roller coaster like one of these. Face Off, KI now called Invertigo - inverted. Often feels like your lives have been turned upside down by all of this. eRate , $ attached – Requires compliance with CIPA and requires filtering…Filtering…Or are you (or possibly your technology department) just filtering out what has the wrong label, tag, keyword, or look to it. Most recently moved to a differentiated filter –many challenges with this – very complex, not perfect . Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (under 13); Ning Story . Children’s Internet Protection Act - Schools and libraries subject to CIPA: Must certify that they have an Internet safety policy including protection (to block or filter) pictures that are obscene, pornographic or harmful to minors. Are required to educate minors about appropriate online safety including cyberbullying and interacting with others on social networking sites and in chat rooms Are required to adopt and enforce a policy to monitor online activities of minors Are required to adopt and address a policy implementing access by minors to inappropriate content on the Internet the safety and security of minors while using e-mail, chat rooms or any form of electronic communication unlawful activities (hacking) use of personal information regarding minors restricting access of materials deemed harmful to minors 3. Community Values – How conservative, how liberal – in contrast to CIPA - Recently, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) urged Congress to update CIPA to include requirements regarding appropriate behavior on social networking and chat room sites. In a joint statement from ISTE’s and CoSN, they said “the Internet contains valuable content, collaboration and communication opportunities that can and do materially contribute to a student’s academic growth and preparation for the workforce”. Are you educating your students on how to keep themselves safe while online? Are you taking advantage of the valuable content the Internet has to offer? Are you using the collaboration and communication opportunities to aide in your student’s academic growth and prepare them for the workforce? Parental Support – Home and school issue – Have to work together. Parents – Limited time and lack of awareness – importance of issue. How involved are parents with this issue – Recent JH presentation – 6 parents; elementary with 600+ students – 13 parents; How do we raise their awareness? 13 and up – Facebook example They keep on changing; students are masters at keeping up, how do we?
- How can we be proactive instead of having to react to situations and headlines like these….
- 9:20 – Are we teaching our students how to establish a positive digital footprint? Will Richardson, Ed Leadership – Footprints in the Digital Age – Alvin Trusty – end of the day (what a treat) Networking as the new literacy. Will challenges us to consider how we teach them to share content and information within the context of network building – goal is no longer readership, but engagement. More than ever before, students have the potential to own their own learning, and we have to help them seize that potential. Need positive learning experiences in schools with web 2.0, with educator guidance, to learn correct use of these tools – rights and responsibilities.
- There are many low cost things we can do to educate our broader community, staff and students. Many free curriculum resources – big difference from several years ago when iSafe was the only game in town. Ohio Attorney General’s Office – Cyber Citizenship Week, We had our own Digital Citizenship Week at the same time…as did other districts in Ohio. Peer Programs –iSafe – our HS students work with our 6th graders – this year on cyberbullying AUP – Legally covering yourself, leaving room to use the tools, experiment – while keeping kids safe. Social Media Guidelines – We are working on right now. Time of rapid change, Creating a living document we can house on the web for the broader community.

- We like these kinds of experiences… Positive press, building a foundation, educating staff, students and parents about the importance of this topic.
- Next steps – great site– My links are included at Ms. Nichols Diigo site – also the link to our wiki.
- 9:30 – In closing Life is filled with so many exciting twists and turns. Hop off the straight and narrow whenever you can and take the winding paths. Experience the exhilaration of the view from the edge. Because the moments spent there, that take your breath away, are what make you feel truly alive. © 2000 Stacey Charter
