Miguel Guhlin, director of instructional technology services for the 55,000-student San Antonio Independent School District in Texas, give their suggestions on how to achieve this.
San Antonio is working on a series of lessons and presentations that teachers and staff can deliver to parents. The 10- to-20-minute video clips will be available to parents in a variety of ways—on the Internet, on CDs, and in face-to-face meetings, Guhlin says.

- 6. Encourage teachers to become a part of the virtual world.
- According to Guhlin, the education necessary for Internet safety isn’t really about sites like MySpace, though. “It’s how to be ‘digital citizens’ and get along in the virtual world we have all created,” he says. Districts need to help teachers get over their fear of the unknown—in this case, the online unknown. San Antonio, for example, has successfully introduced teachers to blogging. The district held teacher workshops and set up a Web site, http://itls.saisd.net/scribe, where students and teachers share their work.
- 7. Use the many Internet offerings that can contribute to educational creativity, but do it inside a “walled garden.”
  
  San Antonio has blogs, wikis, podcasting, and image gallery access for its students and teachers, but those Internet tools are on school servers. For example, instead of teachers using a site such as blogspot.com, where the next blog is just a click away, San Antonio installed b2evolution, a free “blogging platform.”
- 8. A picture is worth a thousand words. Include an image library in your “walled garden.”
  
  As with blogs, make sure you have some say over the content. For example, instead of Flickr, which provides easy access to inappropriate images, San Antonio uses Gallery, a free open-source image library that allows the district more control.
- 9. Create a repository for information about what works.
  
  San Antonio has it all in one place. Districts can learn about how to set up their own safe cyberspace communities.
