I'm constantly amazed at how the 'net gets treated differently - let's say for example different from the local newspaper. When the local paper runs a story about something in the classroom they print pictures with names and enough information usually to track down that child to a t. Here in the States it is very common to run sports items about local high school athletes - star of the week. You get several photographs, what their hobbies are, which sport and position they play, and when the next game is. The only thing they leave out is a map to their house. We have much more to fear from the child molesters who live in our neighborhoods than those who frequent the web. Yet the local newspaper is all that the local predator needs to scope out a potential victim. Internet safety is an extremely important issue, but it makes no sense to provide a significantly higher level of caution to the Internet than to the local media. I'd really like to hear what the local media outlets are doing to make things safer locally for our young ones - so far nothing that I am aware of. Hi Jeff,

I mean, nowadays, with facebook, you need to add your last name to let people you knew years ago find you. But I completely agree with the permission of images point. I was on the cover of Parent Talk at least three times last year, with my name and everything, and I wasn't even told about that. As long as people know that their information is being published, or that they are publishing it themselves, I think it's fine. Of course, I'm talking here about the students smart enough not to post a lot of personal details on websites. I think it should stop with first and last names.

We're all struggling with these same issues. It's true: kids want recognition for their work. To deny them that recognition is to deny much of the power of technology to excite kids and enable them as publishers to an authentic audience. It can get a bit tricky though--finding a balancing between protecting kids and acknowledging their work. <a href="http://justread.wordpress.com"<my blog</a> Thanks for sharing.

I have a group of students who started a wiki as a project that will be local and hopefully global - they did this themselves as well. It is wonderful to see forward thinking students who will definitely be the leaders of tomorrow! Wonderful – will send students that way!

Roy Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:10:47 +0000 http://www.thethinkingstick.com/?p=641#comment-26360 Jeff, Our school struggles with the same issue. We've adopted a similar policy of not posting last names or names with pictures. Then we realized our athletic teams list a roster with numbers. All anyone has to do is look at the roster and then the pic with jersey numbers to see who is who. Some teachers argue that because some students choose to participate in public venue events like interscholastic clubs and athletics that they have voluntarily chosen to share their identity and the non-name with pic does not apply to them. An interesting thought. Thanks for the post Charlie Jeff,
