It's hard to image that the govt are serious about this. I'll definitely follow up on it as, hopefully, others will also. Thanks for the ‘heads up’ on this Rhondda.

Teadhers (and parents) need to be experienceing the digital world themselves, atleast some of it. They need to understand oit an teach about safe use and good digital citizenship to students. Far to often schools have filtered out many digital tools/resources and the "head in the sand" attitude is doing our students harm. We must help prepare them for the world in which they live. I have also a post about a site that opposes the the proposed filtering scheme by the Commonwealth Govt. It is at http://bit.ly/Jm45T if you are interested I agree with all that is said.

You will see a past post on the use of Creative Commons. I also agree that clear policy guidelines are essential. Teachers need to be active digital citizens themselves if they are to be effective in teaching students to live in the world of 'their future not the one of our past'.

Anderson Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:39:37 +0000 http://edubeacon.com/?p=189#comment-217 This post really gets at the heart of what is wrong with technology in education today. In order for teachers to teach digital citizenship, they, themselves must develop their own digital citizenship policy for their own online activities. I would also add information on copyright and fair use activities, as these are issues that are regularly faced by students today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJn_jC4FNDo&feature=player_embedded http://www.teachingcopyright.org/ Great Post!
