This report does not consist of a simple poll result, like a quick USA Today "factoid" graph on the front of one of the newspaper sections. Your comment suggests that this study should be discarded because it is "a poll" and not a serious study. If that is your contention, I disagree with it. I cited the demographics of the survey and indicated I wished we know what U.S. states were represented by the 2000+ respondents. There are limits to any type of research study, and those should be readily acknowledged. Studies based on survey data or polls can still be valuable indicators of trends, perceptions, and behaviors. I think the results of this study should be both studied and considered in the context of Internet safety.

I wasn't too thrilled with the iSafe questions for the seventh graders about Internet safety. Some kids didn't know what some of the predator related words (like pedophile) meant. The questions made me feel uncomfortable. I do like their support materials though. I do think that kids don't mention cyberbullying to parents as they get into the middle school years. Perhaps they're on a web site that they shouldn't be in the first place. I agree that MySpace involves the middle schoolers in a more high school oriented environment than they should be...but it's just so easy to adjust your birth date and sign on. I took a quick look at Imbee over the summer and it looked like it's worth some more investigation in the future. At this point, though, I'm working through wikis and blogs. You have interesting information here. I always enjoy your articles. I used your Cricket Market VoiceThread as an example to my students before they started creating their own. I think it's great to share the wider world with our students. This is something I’ve been working on with my students since I started teaching children six years ago.
