Dismissing the immoral teacher for conduct outside the workplace--do current laws protect the interests of both school authorities and teachers? | Society, Social Assistance & Lifestyle > Families & Children from AllBusiness.com
From Scott McLeod - an article that he says he does not agree with, but does state that this is the current law as it pertains to teacher behavior outside school.

Open Thinking & Digital Pedagogy » Blog Archive » Flickr Perversion
This is why I don't share the photos of my children online in public places. After one pic of a child at school was favorited in this way, I took the pic down and am ridiculously vigilant about checking to see how many photos have been favorited and which ones to see if there is one that some sicko has looked at.
This is an article I'm going to share with my digiteen dream team! It is an important one to share!
-
These photos of these girls were without a doubt being sexualized, and my four-year-old daughter was amongst these images.
-
These photos are legal. The actions of the user who favorited these is also legal (although incredibly disgusting). I did not want photos of my child to appear here. So, this is what I did:
1) Blocked the user. This means my photos would no longer appear in the list. However, if your photos are viewable to the public, this means they can still be viewed, just not favorited.
2) Contacted Flickr: I reported this user, and within a couple of hours, the user was taken down. - 2 more annotations...
FOXNews.com - Cyberbullying: Parents, Tech Companies Join Forces to Keep Kids Safe - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News
Excellent article on cyberbullying and an example of a girl who was harrassed online and killed herself. This sort of thing is tragic and we should consider what we think aboutinternet harrassment penalties, particularly against children.
There are mention of several websites including one I'd never heard of called CyberBully Alert.
-
An ex-friend’s mother faces charges in federal court as a result, and Missouri has made Internet harassment a crime.
-
Cyberbullies often commandeer e-mail accounts and social-networking profiles, attacking kids while pretending to be someone they trust, like a best friend. They use cell phones and the Web to spread embarrassing and cruel material, and they can harass their victims well beyond the schoolyard -- even when they're "safe" at home.

Vaio laptop safety recall
Again, as a health thing, you shouldn't REALLY put a laptop on your lap. I have a food tray that I use when I use my laptop in the recliner. In addition to claims that it causes infertility in men, it is also not good for your laptop to cover the ventilation holes with your clothing (or that little bit of pudge on your thighs.)
This is something to mention to laptop users as part of digital health and wellness with digital "citizenship" and safety.
Whither censorship? « What Counts!
Very interesting ponderings from an elementary teacher in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada about the balance and issues that have caused some parents to want to block all "social" tools in school.
I think she has very balanced ponderings on this and it is excellent reading.

Michel Foucault, Privacy, and Doubts about Web 2.0 | Connecting the Dots
Fascinating ponderings by Mike Curtain about how many of us are relinquishing our own privacy. This is a very thought provoking post and yet another one I wouldn't have read, had he not linked to my blog post yesterday asking for bloggers to share their links.
This is a very powerful blog post. Wow! I personally think there is a balance here, but also agree than many are not considering the privacy they are relinquishing when they post things that don't belong out there for everyone to see. Internet privacy is an illusion, it really is.

Reflection - Horizon Project 2008
This 10th grade student has written an exceptional post-project reflection. I hope you'll take time to read it. Here is an excerpt:
"There is no doubt that this technology is dangerous. It is apparent that few people, not adults, not teenagers, truly understand how collaboration, conduct, and manners affect the internet. This project has to teach others that as well. It is necessary to know how to handle yourself on the internet. That’s why Horizon Project is so important. We have to educate tomorrow’s leaders how to use new technology without abusing it. The highlight of this project is the education we are giving every single person who has been a part of the Horizon Project."
