Hey! I started thinking about our lesson - Do we know if we're only covering digital identities like Facebook, MySpace, blogs, etc? Or should we add in some points about using credit cards, scams, etc too? Also, is this being geared more towards teachers protecting their identity on things like Facebook, or geared towards students? Or just a general public?

Hey girls. I don't think our target audience would be the public. I am pretty sure we are focusing our lesson on our student's safety. I am not sure what kind of identity protection we are talking about either. But I guess we could first discuss why it is important to keep personal information safe and the potential dangers of careless protection of passwords, ect. especially on the technologies we may use in class as teachers.

Hey I found this website - I haven't gotten to look it over much yet, but it provides a lot of links to articles and videos we might be able to use. Let me know what you guys think.

Digital dangers for students: Consider that some parents are not monitoring their students' cell phone or online uses. Teachers are the next line of defense in protecting our students. Lending information-- cell phone numbers full name address

Ways to help you students protect their digital identity:

Here is the news report on the dangers of online gaming

I tried modifying some of the tips from this website: @http://www.netsmartz.org/Gaming so that they are more from a teach to student perspective, rather than a parent to child perspective. Please feel free to edit, add, delete, etc or find another source, as well. I used one of the websites from out main link I put on here before.

Online gaming
 * Depending on the type of game, a student may use a headset. It would be useful for a student to know whether their headset may have voice-masking features or any other safety features.
 * **It is important that students are taught to never to give out personal information while gaming or agree to meet anyone outside of the game. **
 * Students should know what types of games are appropriate for their age (though it is ultimately left up to the parents to decide what they can and cannot play), and know that they have a choice in who plays with them – they don’t have to play the games with strangers.
 * Students should use caution before using a credit or debit card online.

Kim I really like those. I think that's a great start. So I forgot if we were going to just pick like 3 main danger zones (online gaming, facebook, another one?) Let me know if you guys remember what we picked. So then I'm assuming we'll juts skim over some other places where digital identity can be in danger. Are we going to give them steps then to keeping their identity safe online? We should try to make an outline soon so we can set up a foundation to work on. I'll try to start making one, feel free to start putting ideas up on here before we meet again. :) Good luck this week!

How can we help our students be safer in an increasingly technological world? (kylie introduces)


 * Remembering the past (Colleen Introduces)**

What was a potential threat to our identities in:

(Kylie clicks on all of these)

1990? (Colleen)

2000? (Kim)

2005? (Laura)

2010? (Kylie)

Now? (Kylie-explain wordle)

You tube video (Laura Introduces as a way in which students can be targeted that we weren't aware of) (Pass out statistics handout) (Colleen)

Explain handout (Kim SITE RESOURCE!!!)

**(Colleen intros group activity, everyone else passes out supplies) With your groups, come up with tips for how our students can be safer while using social media and their cell phones.**  **(KYLIE calls on people afterward for their responses) Anyone can comment from group**

**(Laura explains that we brainstormed these together) Tips for your Classroom**

1) Don't allow personal information for usernames (Laura) 2) Have cell phones in plain view during class (Laura) 3) Walk around the classroom so you are aware of classroom activities (Kim) 4) Have students log out before leaving class (Kim) 5) Don't require students to post photos online (Kylie) 6) Don't use sites that require students to give address, phone number, credit card number, social security number, ect. (Kylie)

(FOR THE ABOVE ACTIVITY, ANYONE IN THE GROUP CAN ADD ANY THOUGHTS, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE AS STRUCTURED AS IT LOOKS!)
