=What is Digital Citizenship? = What do you know about it? What do your students know? Your community? What do we do as educators? Help! Tessa Gray has collated and organised an amazing repertoire of articles, video, sites and discussion which we need to digest.  Go to her wiki before you do anything!

=Cybersafety = Fortunately, there are lots of online sites to support you - and it's well documented that many of our students are doing things online that are leaving them wide open.

Spend some time watching this Frontline Documentary.



= Think Before You Post = Many of our children are posting material on Facebook and other social networking sites that might come back to bite them in the future. These clips come from a safety campaign broadcast in the United States. They are worth sharing with staff, parents and students. media type="file" key="Everyone Knows Your Name.mp4" align="left" width="300" height="300" media type="file" key="Internet photos.mp4" align="right" width="305" height="305"

=So...what do we need to know? =

Did you know that many of the sites your students want to use are restricted to an age limit - You Tube, Facebook, Runescape, Blogger? Do you have effective firewalling? Do you use Watchdog?

Want some help? Annemarie has held staff meetings on this so can assist (see the Mokoia page).
