Your children have discovered Myspace, Facebook, LiveJournal, and many other social networking sites. In theory, they are a novel way to communicate with friends worldwide. They are can post messages, pictures, list their favorite... and tell others about themselves. Like all technologies it can be a good thing or a bad thing.Most children don't understand what public information really is - and the internet is REALLY public! Even though most services require users are at least 14 years of age, many children lie about their birth dates.
As parents, the best way to keep your children safe is to teach them what to say and what NOT to say.
As teachers, you can no longer ignore it. Instead we should embrace it and use it as a tool to educate our young ones.
Tell your child three things
- Everyone can see your profile - and always will
- Think carefully before posting personal information or photos (would you send this to your Dad?)
- There will be predators looking at everything you write and post
ISSUE: Many educators and advisory groups emphasize high standards as an important factor in improving the quality of education for all students. As a result, schools and districts are looking at ways to develop a high-quality curriculum that is based on standards. An important starting point for this effort is a carefully thought-out curriculum framework that reflects the standards and goals for which the education community is willing to be held accountable. Developing a standards-based curriculum requires changes in the way teachers teach and schools are run, so care must be taken to build capacity for all educators and to provide adequate time for implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the curriculum. The curriculum-development process also should provide opportunities for reflection and revision so that the curriculum is updated and improved on a regular basis.
Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, an eminent scientist has warned.
Some parents readily volunteer their time for the schools. Other parents are reluctant or unable to participate. Although getting parents involved in their children's schools is a great challenge for educators, research shows that educators can do a great deal to promote greater parent involvement. The Center on Families, Communities, Schools, and Children's Learning (1994) indicates that parents who receive frequent and positive messages from teachers tend to become more involved in their children's education than do other parents. Dauber and Epstein (1993) found that many parents respond to encouragement from educators. In their national study of 2,317 inner-city elementary and middle school students, the best predictor of parent involvement was what the school did to promote it. School attitudes and actions were more important than the parents' income, educational level, race, or previous school-volunteering experience in predicting whether the parent would be involved in the school. Davies (1991) suggests three ways that schools can promote parent involvement: establishment of a parent center, a home visitor program, and action research teams.
