Staff Meeting 11.06.13
We started off with updating the writing scenarios. Some of us were able to edit directly onto the blog.
These conversations are valuable as we can each relate to each scenario at different levels of the curriculum.
Digital Citizenship
Timely when last night on TV there were news articles about the bullying using askfm - Warning over bullying (click to watch)
Think carefully about what defines privacy. What is private when there is so much of your life online? Photos on Facebook? Twitter? Respect yourself and others.
This not a new issue. It's a case of the cyber world enabling the immediacy of information to be passed between people you know to people you do not in a much faster way. Back in the day it was word of mouth and could be forgotten. Now it can't go away.
Research is telling us that "bullying" online is more dangerous and potentially could lead to places we can'tor don't want to imagine. NZ has the highest Teen Suicide rate. Why? So what? Now what?
What you or we find tolerable is not the same as other.
Are we showing due diligence by naming our sources of information? Are we using creative commons pictures? Are we installing these values in students? Are we respecting the artist? Ethics?
There are huge links with the Key Competencies. Where does digital citizenship fit in these? Where do the virtues fit in?
The communications we have with our friends, families and our community has not changed. It is the vehicle in which we are doing it. We still have arguements, we just do it online. We till have poor choices and make bad choices, those are just online for all to see. We still write letters and pour our hearts out in a letter to a loved one, we just do it on skype, or facebook etc. There is not longer time taken to write it and the knowledge of physical evidence of what we say. It is online and immediate. Therefore our students don't see it or take the time to craft it. We have to instill those virtues.
Where computers are located in the home has changed. It's not longer the family computer in the lounge. Its on your phone in your bedroom, its on the bus home and its 2am in the morning when you think they are asleep. How do you monitor what we can no longer see? There is a lot of trust being given and taken.
