Internet Safety

I was asked recently to talk about Internet Safety with a group of parents at my son's middle school.  For that presentation, I put together the prezi you see below...

Internet Safety on Prezi

It's been a while...

Well, it's been quite awhile since I last posted anything on this site. Part of the reason is that for many reasons, IT has blocked access to blogger sites on the school network. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at this link about internet safety by Wesley Freyer. In any case, I am excited about the fact that our district has now enabled us to post information parents, colleagues and students on our own personal "blog". I only wish that more of us made use of things like blogs, webpages, and wikis. This gives people a chance to interact outside of the classroom. Hopefully more of us will make use of this wonderful tool.
