After tonight's class, I have been thinking about how do we keep children safe online? I agree with the many benefits of threaded discussions, blogs and email as a way to promote literacy in our classrooms. But, let's be honest, there are freaks out there. So, after reading the article, "I Blog, He Blogs, She Blogs, Do You Blog?" I found this link. One of the many things disclosed in this Act, are parent consents, and what is permitted when consents are not required. I can see this as a resourceful document.
Another good website is: http://www.ou.edu/oupd/kidtool.htm
But ultimately, I think the more informed we are as teachers and parents, the safer our kids will be.
Let me know what you do to keep your kids/students safe online. I'd like to know...
