Length: 1 Hour 2 Seconds
Generally adults help young people learn to drive safely before giving them car keys and turning them loose on the streets of the world. Young people also need guidance and adult assistance to learn how to safely navigate the virtual environments of the 21st Century. Schools must be proactive, rather than merely defensive, in helping students acquire the skills of digital citizenship needed today and in the future. Simply banning read/write web tools on school networks is an inadequate response: Educators must strive to learn alongside students and parents how these technologies can be safely and powerfully used to communicate and collaborate.

Why not take advantage of a 1:1 laptop deployment and get kids to publish their work in a Web2.0 manner on our local server? Our 1:1 laptop rollout was based on constructionist philosophies and our concentrated efforts were directed at our Middle School where teachers were grappling with changing their pedagogies to become more student centered and project based. Sounded like a good idea at the time. This session looks at the benefits and shortcomings of this approach, using student work samples and the action research of their teachers.
