Blog readers will be pleased to know we have an exploratory committee (Elaine Marion, Roxanne Mills and Kathy Lehman) working with our representatives at VDOE to update the Linking Libraries and Academic Achievement website to incorporate Internet Safety instruction as mandated by the new Internet Safety Guidelines for Virginia Public Schools. We will be addressing such issues as how to take advantage of the instructional read/write features in Web 2.0 technology while at the same time teaching safe use of the Internet. It’s an exciting time to be in information retrival and sharing !! We are fortunate to have inspiring speakers at ALA, AASL and VEMA to keep us abreast of new technologies and new thinking. Balancing the educational opportunities and the potential safety concerns is always sensitive in school situations. We’ll be taking a hard look at the possibilities in the weeks ahead. Input form colleagues is always encouraged and welcome!!

I teach in Henrico County at a Middle School. All of our students have their own laptops. This past week I had 2 six grade students suspended for being on inappropriate websites. We do have filters and blocks, but where there is a will there is a way. Todays students are very computer knowledgable and can get to almost anything that they truly want, or another student will show them how very quickly. We as educators and parents have to be the ones to monitor what sites our students are on. It is not always an easy task, but necessary in this rapidly changing wired communication world that we live in.

I’m trying to stay abreast on new technologies but it’s frustrating to deal with local technology folks and filters! They are trying to responsibly protect our kids from some truly aweful stuff but end up blocking valuable education resources at the same time. It’s a pendulum that’s currently swung too far…How are the rest of you dealing with this issue?

Charlie,
Wow! Sounds as if you folks had a busy and thought-provoking time in Seattle. Your posting here emphasizes for me the critical need for each of us to teach our students to become critical consumers and careful producers of information! Audrey
