What changes are happening?

• Immediate access to information in real timeo Wikipedia Vision

 • Socialization no longer requires F2F

interactions at school  • Access to school related information is readily

available  o Why should I memorize the atomic number of Fe (iron)

when I can Google itand learn so much more? 

What about online gaming?

“Video game designers have created such an engaging system that [kids] don’t care if they have to fail 100 times before they actually succeed,” says Etuk. “If you ask any teacher how she would feel about a child failing 100 times at algebra, but never giving up and even asking his friends to help him succeed at algebra, that teacher would say, ‘That’s the dream.” 

The Internet landscape is changing…

What is Web 1.0?

Think of web 1.0 as a library filled with content a few skilled people wrote for the masses to enjoy. BooksTime and knowledge to write an entire book and theresources to have it published and marketed.

Web1.0Skill in writing HTML code and the resources of a Webserver.

Web 2.0

The code being used is different than in 1.0 allowing for:

o The pull of content from one source to another. (Collecting)  RSS feeds, Mash-ups, and Podcasts for example

 o Pushing content back to the web without technical skills

or resource (Collaborating and Creating) YouTube, MySpace, Ustream, Wikipedia

What does this all mean?

Social Networking

Social networking refers to a broad class of web sites and services that allow you to connect with friends, family, and colleagues online, as well as meet people with similar interests or hobbies.

Many, such as Facebook and MySpace, let you create a profile where you can post photos, information about yourself like location, hobbies, and relationship status, and send and receive correspondence with online contacts.

Cyber-bullying

Definition: Cyber-bullying: sending or posting harmful

material or engaging in other forms of social aggression using the Internet or other digital technologies.

(Nancy Willard, 2007)

Cyber-bullying

“The tradition of home as a refuge from bullies on the school playground is over. The Internet is the new playground, and there are no off hours. The popularity of instant messaging, e-mail, webpages, and blogging means kids are a target 24 hours per day, seven days a week.”

Activities

• Text/Picture Messaging• E-mail• Instant Messaging• Social Network Sites

Cyber-bullying

Hello Loves, Halloween is tomorrowI wonder what everyone will be wearing…

B looked pissed at the end of 7th period – apparently she had to play goalie. Hmm lets all shed a tear for her. (Notice freshly dyed hair)

J was caught throwing a fit in the hall today – over what you may ask? Ask her yourself.Apparently the Twins were both whispering to A and the Ice Queen about…me? I told you all I would never tell my name.

B flirting with N again, I personally think he doesn’t like her that much – you all know it’s true.K was hugging one of the twins today. I wonder if it was the one who is going out with J- or are they still together?

Looks like A got a haircut…the layers don’t really work for her. She would have been better off getting a dye job – or her highlights retouched.

B’s short gleaming black hair is of course, routinely placed on top of her head in a small pony-tail. Her fringe is in her bitter hazel eyes as she smiles at her friends and pretends to know what is going on; but is really lost in her own thoughts.

Tips to Stop Cyber-bullies

– Tell a trusted adult and keep telling them until they take action.

– Never open, read or respond to messages from cyber-bullies - don’t retaliate!

– If it is school related, tell someone at your school.– Do not erase the messages. They may be needed to

take action.– If bullied through chat or IM, the bully can often be

blocked.– If you are threatened with harm, call the police.

What can the school do?

• SSB 5288, Cyberbullying, passed in 2007

• Adds ‘electronic’ to SSB 5288, passed in 2002

• Prohibits electronic HIB “while on school grounds and during the school day”
