For some reason your link put your comment in the spam queue, so that is why it didn't show up right away, I had to approve it as a comment this morning. Generally Akismet works well (that is my main comment spam plugin) but sometimes it mis-diagnoses comments. Thanks for the link, you all are facilitating GREAT work over on the PBwiki educators site! :-) I'm adding <a href="https://educators.pbwiki.com/Protect+your+students+online" rel="nofollow">your page on protecting students online</a> to <a href="http://teachdigital.pbwiki.com/safedsn" rel="nofollow">my social networking page</a> also.

I've added them to my bookmarks. As a Private High School administrator I am currently in the process of rewriting our technology policies. I am currently leaning towards a moderate road of allowing in house and out of house blogging but requiring on public blogs that students do not post personal info on their profiles. On public blogs they could use just a firs name to post. I'm also adding a declaimer that Peoria Notre Dame High School uses wikipedia, youtube, blogs, wikis, ustream, twitter, jott, slideshare, gcast, e-pals etc. .and other web based programs that aid in the dissemination of information. Comment moderation will be used when necessary. At all times our teachers use these technologies to further student learning. Myspace and facebook are blocked except for special use during certain school projects. Cell phones must be turned off and not in use during the day except for when required for academic purposes. Ipods and other digital media players may be used as authorized by teachers as study aides on a class by class basis. Kind of in its infancy but it should be fun finalizing it. I have some tech savy parents so it should be fun. @Wes

A necessary debate that should include the creators of these sites as well as the users (students, parents, teachers, administration, etc). I agree that students and teachers should be able to access the 'open web' - but newbies should understand how the tools work - and how they are empowered to prevent online predators. I created a short list of measures teachers should follow to make sure students are safe online - would love your input. http://tinyurl.com/354uvm (I actually uploaded your permission form!) -Kristine ------------------------ Sorry if this posted twice - I can't understand the captcha!

What concerned me in this was the constant use of the term "predators." I just <a href="http://www.udel.edu/sine" rel="nofollow">blogged about this</a> and referenced an article from this month's American Psychologist that spells out where the threat of predators is -- not on bogs and wikis.
