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...
Where do you draw the line between having fun and being inappropriate online? Is it different online than offline? - Digi Teen
Another amazing discussion here on digital citizenship and appropriate behavior. So many teachable moments on this project.
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.

Cyber Bullying Alert | CyberBullying Prevention Software | Internet Harassment
New software that allows children to document and report harmful harrassment online. I would love to test this tool, I find it very interesting. I think this kind of thing is good, but never replaces a parent talking to a child.
However, if there is nothing that "can be done" because local laws and others have no method of dealing with it, then I don't know if it will breed frustration.
I think every computer should have an easy way to grab screenshots like my fireshot program in firefox. I think this should be part of every web browser.

The CyberBully Alert software is a tool for parents to equip their children with the ability to immediately communicate and document any threats or cyberbullying their children experience when online. Th

Experts agree that the best way to address cyberbullying and online threats is to immediately communicate the incident with an adult, as well as document what the threat is.

Children's Way - Teaching Kids and Parents Internet Safety
I highly recommend that elementary and middle schools at least sign up for a school code for woogi world - this is a great tool suggested by Hoover City schools for teaching digital citizenship. My daughter (my intrepid tester of all kid virtual worlds) loves it and says she thinks it is great for kids.
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."
Internet Safety Video from Thinkquest - Dear Diary asks kids to find the mistakes
Videos where students are asked to see the mistake that someone made with their new friends. This is a pretty interesting video to show and makes a point about age.
It is definitely a shock type video. I wish we could put star ratings on this one because this seems a little over the top to me. I don't know that I would use it. What do you think? I think there should be a better video to discuss the mistakes kids make in chats. What do you think?
Internet Safety
This site is full of information about the scary side of the Internet -- it talks about predators and what they look like. It also shows predator warning signs, which could be interesting. I'm curious to see if there is balance and where their facts come from. This is targeted to age 10 and up. There are games and other things in here. I'd like to know some people who have been through this material. It won an award in 2007
Think.com - Safety & Netiquette Lesson
Think.com's safety lesson with nets standards. Think.com is excellent to use with younger students and is very walled and has an excellent profanity filter. I highly recommend it and have personally used it for a summer blogging project. Excellent site. It also requires an extensive verification process by the participating schools.
-
- Identify and provide examples of proper and improper netiquette;
- Generate a list of preferred web behaviors for their class;
- Understand and use a few Think.com content creation tools;
- Define "safety" and describe/draw an environment that values safety;
- Develop a greater sense of personal responsibility and web community; and
- Define the following words: accountable, community, enforcement, environment,
etiquette, inappropriate, law, netiquette, private, responsible, rule, safety.
YouTube - Everyone - Think Before You Post (English)
This is a very nice public service announcement, think before you post article. We need to address children posting innappropriate pictures of themseves ONLINE and on cell phones.
Cell phones transmittals are one step away from going online and really the lines will blur between cell phones AND online. I like this video as one to use with students.
We also need a counter for WHY you post and what types of things TO post.
A Silent World
This student I know started this blog to write about things. Notice that the student has done a pretty good job of keeping things private about his/her identity.
-
This is an oxymoron since I have no intent of being silent. But as of now, everyone is so afraid to speak out against things that are corrupt and wrong that we have become a silent world.
YouTube - Please ban cell phone use while driving.
Responsible use of electronic devices is going to become increasingly important because today cell phone is a distraction --- tomorrow it will be in car movies or gps devices. It is the behavior that is the problem and proper focus on real life has to be something we emphasize as we discuss the proper relationship of humans with "gadgets."
The Associated Press: Video of Teen Beating Raises Questions
This horrific attack that was videoed and posted on youtube for attention brings many questions and the public spotlight again goes onto the digital world we are creating. It is making its own "rules" which really aren't any. It is time for educators to speak out or be spoken to about what to or not to do.
-
But that doesn't mean YouTube or any other media company should get the blame, legally or ethically, for the attack, media experts said Friday.
-
The teenagers have been arrested on charges that they beat the teen so they could make a video of the attack to post online. One of the girls struck the 16-year-old victim on the head several times and then slammed her head into a wall, knocking her unconscious, according to an arrest report.

Online Predators and Their Victims
Cool summary of an article by Liz B. Davis -- Liz took the article and extracted the most valuable bits to her using google Docs. This methodology is fascinating, but even moreso the fact we may all begin doing this together with Diigo.

Myths, Realities, and Implications for Prevention and Treatment. by: Janis Wolak, David Finkelhor, and Kimberly J. Mitchell - University of New Hampshire and Michele L.

The publicity about online"predators" who prey on naive children using trickery and violence is largely inaccurate.
