Thanks Kay - I certainly didn't anticipate the video would get as wide a circulation as it has... as of this writing it's been viewed over 60,000 times and I've moderated/approved over 700 comments... It certainly brings the issue of kids being on...

I loved her take on the President's speech. She got the just of it - what can I do to contribute to our society. I think people overreacted to the President's intent and I think those individuals damaged their child's ability to respect the Presid...

http://digitaldialog.pbwiki.com

We haven't finalized the class title, but I'm considering something like "Digital Dialog and Digital Discipline: Conversations for Lifelong Learners." We're going to address a variety of topics extending well beyond Internet Safety: digital photography, Face… Continue

Thanks for the heads-up on inappropriate content

My apologies we had a spam blog post here on digital dialog, I have banned the member from the learning community.

It is sad to see the lengths spammers will go to reach our radar screens with content that is wholly inappropriate for a context like this. :-(

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you see anything here on our website that is inappropriate… Continue

New Internet Safety for parents resources

I have drafted a new presentation / workshop for parents that I will be sharing twice later this month in the Oklahoma City area. I have titled it "Internet Safety and Social Networking for Parents."

http://teachdigital.pbwiki.com/internetsafety

At the suggestion of Karen Montgomery I added resources related to instant messaging yesterday. I would love feedback on the content and links.

I am also wondering about the best way to share these resources with parents. I am considering writing the… Continue
