Hi Everyone,
I'm working in this area right now (I would like it to be my capstone
project for graduate degree at Marlboro College's MAT program). The
idea is to create a Vermont statewide resource/website for educators
and parents, link it to schools in Vermont, follow the Vermont
standards, and improve where necessary. The website will include
videos, lesson plans, and worksheets on Internet Safety,
Cyberbullying, Posting, Sexting, Security, Ethics, and whatever else
we come up with.
The website will be completely free; there will be no charge to anyone
for anything (I'm sure we can get someone to donate server space).
Too many canned programs charge, and when we get them, we modify the
lessons anyway. Our technology issues are changing so quickly, it
would be great to have an immediate lesson or video available to teach
about the latest issue. If we pool our resources, I'm certain this
can be achieved.
If you would like to contribute or help with the website, that would
be great! We could have the prototype up an running by this year's
conference at Killington.
