HI Seraphine, You have brought about important points! It is rather unnerving that even our word docs can be exposed. What will you do to teach your students how to be safe with personal information? Looking forward to your thoughts! Doc
Hi Doc, Thank you for responding. I was really taken aback by that information. As for student safety, this opens the door for teaching digital citizenship. One way of doing so would be to hold an open class discussion and have the students express their opinions on how to practice good manners, individual safety, and ethics at home, at school, on the playground, etc. We would then examine and determine practical ways by which to apply their ideas to our use of technology and the World Wide Web. I think that may be effective because they might be inclined to find their own directives to be more meaningful than that which is handed to them as a list of do(s) and don't(s). It is part of human nature to be tempted to act defiantly toward moral issues in which they have little or no say.
