In front of Lyle goes Dana and behind goes Mad "er": I was to be a girl but am over it now - going bald is much harder to accept. I agree with all of the comments on your page here in regards to teaching "internet citizenship skills" and proper "web etiquette". We can as adults or educators do all the blocking we want to, but (unfortunately) the cancer will still get through... What we have to do is give our students/children the tools/skills and mindsets to restrict, recognize and manage it... before, while and after it arrives: proactive vs reactive. I mean if those in our charge (and I'm sure that no one here is immune) can get into danger zones right before our very eyes and somehow manage to disguise this from that of even our 6th sense (teacher withitness) - what pray tell are they doing in our abstentia?

I gotta say, that kinda scared me, because we must use the tools that are expected of us and frankly I haven't read those agreements. I am also amazed at the ability of the kids to not care about those agreements or not know what the possible consequences of their actions on the web might be (Can you say Facebook and YouTube). I guess that's why their is a constant battle at school to block out sights because as adults we know what some of the consequences might be. There has to be a serious look at internet citizenship skills and teaching kids online etiquete. Sometimes I feel a bit too paranoid (with 2 small kids at home) but it is something school boards need to think about with foresight or (worst case scenario) after something bad happens as a result of these tools/sites.

I talked about blocking the sites to the school division but it seems that would take time. How are we going to prepare students for the future if we are not even guiding them through this process. The gaggle site is new for me. I added the link on my blog. Thanks. I agree with you Nicole. I talked about blocking the sites to the school division but it seems that would take time.

I like your layout. It's easy to navigate and to read. It was interesting to see the class web site and blog that you have for your Grade 4 class. I like your layout.

I tagged it immediately. Good find! Gaggle looks like it would be a very useful service for K-12 email.
