Thoughts from the AI about the video:
- giving kids information is better than keeping tabs on them
- with younger children perhaps parents should have passwords
- once parents have given older kids all the information, it's okay to trust them
- if we think about a continuum of protection, what is too much? not enough?
- freedom & responsibility
- need to provide kids with the sense of how to be independent
- teach right and wrong and then haveconfidence in your teaching
- parents, teachers, other adults are not always going to be there
- mother seemed not aware of what is going on - needs to be more educated about social networking
- school has a responsibility to educate parents about it: how to keep kids safe and the benefits of social networking
- it would be neat to have conversations with students about how they can educate their parents, talk about what they do know already
- set up forums for discussion of these issues
- greater accessibility, greater anonymity, greater fear
- teachers need to keep in touch with parents, e.g. if they plan to ask kids to go online
- any time you introduce a new tool, discuss the realities of the tool
- don't be afraid to discuss negative examples with students
- difficult as a teacher to work with a student whose parent has cut off all access
- just as we teach children other skills on a daily basis, teaching them to exercise vigilance should be taught from the beginning and incrementally
