 * ALA: Especially for Children and their Parents**

Kelly Hines is a 4th grade teacher in North Carolina, and her blog is just full of good ideas and thoughts about using technology in the classroom. In a recent post, she shared her **Digital Citizen Contract**, and (in the open spirit of web 2.0) she gave permission for anyone to remix/reuse it. See her comment below, from her blog. This is a really good blog to read for cool ideas!
 * Digital Citizen Contract**

**[|Kelly Hines]**, on [|July 14th, 2009 at 7:18 pm] Said: Thanks for the comments Gerald & Judy! I have gone back and linked to the Digital Citizen Contract & my parent letter. Please feel free to remix/use. Would love to chat about DEN if you are interested – maybe it could be a whole other post!

Woogi World
media type="custom" key="2945347"

Woogi World is a web site that teaches digitial citizenship topics through a social networking framework. The site claims to "teach kids Internet Safety, Life Values and fun!" I (jcc) think some of it seems a little preachy, and might turn some kids off, but it does have some interesting components. There's a reading encouragement portion of the site featuring online classics such as Kipling's //Rikki Tikki Tavi// and Cleary's //The Mouse and the Motorcycle//. Students must complete a cybersafety module and apply for membership to use the site. Application requires writing a paragraph about why the student wants to join the club. I'm not sure this is a useful site for use at school, but it might be interesting to some families for home use. See the SLJ blog post about it [|here].

On Guard Online

Here's a video I thought some of you might find useful. It is available on wiredsafety.org as well, but I thought I'd post this link to call attention to edublogs.tv, which is a video site for education that goes along with the blogging platform edublogs. I don't know if it'll get through our filters, but if it doesn't you should b able to find it on the [|wiredsafety] site or on [|teachertube]. jcc media type="custom" key="3697983"

Annet found this video too! It would be good for professional development--it highlights the current "hot topic" in digital safety: sexting. I haven't looked over the web site yet--have you Annet? I'm hoping that it's not full of scare tactics, gloom and doom that might be counterproductive to a digital citizenship program. Hopefully it's proactive and positive. We need to look at it more in June! jcc
