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...

Great site, I am looking forward to using it. Do you have any plans to present at NECC in San Antonio June 28th - July 2nd? My wife and I are looking forward to this conference.

Digital Dialog wiki

I've created a Digital Dialog wiki to accompany this site, and serve as a curriculum portal for a class I'm planning to co-teach with my father in law next fall:

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.

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

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
