Compelling iSafety video

posted in digitalstorytelling, isafety |

I am working my way through the iSafe iLearn Online curriculum to become an iSafe certified educator. (This is a free, online certification program.) Chapter 2 of the “Personal Safety” section includes this excellent digital story titled “Predator,” created by a student and his principal.

This is not only an outstanding example of engaging digital storytelling, but also an excellent resource to use as you talk with adults and kids about internet safety. I’m adding quite a few resources to my InternetSafety social bookmarks, which I’l be using in my presentation Friday at the MACE MTI Conference on safe digital social networking. I’ll be subsequently posting that presentation here as enhanced and mp3 audio podcasts.

If you know of other internet safety related sites that I do not have on this list, please let me know by for: tagging the link in del.icio.us as:

    I’m working on a presentation on this right now as well (looking at the iSafe stuff and lamenting it’s US-centric nature, but that is what happens when your money is government based) so here are some site that I have found:

    http://www.cybertip.ca

    Obviously some are Canadian, but the lessons are universal - after all the predators don’t see borders online now do they…

    Great Raj, thanks so much! I agree this stuff should be written so it is broadly applicable when possible, thanks so much for sharing your links. I’ve added them to my Internet Safety social bookmarks.

    Wes,

    Thanks for providing the link to iSafe, I will be proposing that our teachers can accumulate professional development credits through completing the course and becoming certified. What a great video!
