Vlog Privacy: For Parents & Guardians

3/12/2010

Living in a Web 2.0 world, where students are sharing who-knows-what information in a public space, can be daunting. At the same time I imagine you don't want your student "left behind" 21st century technology tools they may be using in the workforce. As a parent it is your right to decide how much information--and of what kind--is released about your student. This project is no exception. Review the following documents for more information.

Media Literacy

"I have advocated for 30 years that, in order to preserve our democracy and protect ourselves against demagogues,we should have courses in schools on how to watch TV, how to read newspapers, how to analyze a speech – how to understand the limitations of
each medium and make a judgment as to the accuracy or the motives involved."

~Walter Cronkite,
retired news anchor for CBS television network
