RE: [info-tech] Same Questions, different year...
See notes embedded in your questions below. (It is interesting reading. Really.)

Everyone- I have a few questions I would like to pose to the group for input. 1 - At what grade do you start giving students Internet access? Our elementaries would like to not have to log in to computers as special internet accounts, they just want the Internet to work for them. Our current practice would require someone to log the computer in with an account that would have Internet access. I assume that whatever your situation is, you expect the teacher to still supervise their use. ALL students PK-12 have internet access. No special login. No special permission. However, PK-4 have a grade section common login. All elementary students use the internet at the directions and supervision of a teacher. No personal, unsupervised exploring. 2 - At what grade do you start giving kids their own personal login, with a home directory and internet access. We are doing home directories at 5th grade, and Internet access at 7th grade. Each student receives a personal login and password grade 5-12. 3 - Facebook. We have 3 interested groups ready and wanting to create a Facebook group or a Facebook Page for their specific group. We have talked about privacy, and what kids post about themselves there and how we as District employees are mandatory reporters. From my limited playing of Facebook, I cannot limit access to specific facebook site, it is either give them (staff only, not students) access to Facebook or not. All or none. Their thinking in wanting to create a Facebook page is because that is what the kids are doing, when they aren't at school. My concern is the privacy and lost work time with people maintaining their personal Facebook, Mafia War or Farm Town creation. Give me your thought, the discussions you have had, and we can kind of go from there. Facebook - no way, never. I have had teachers invite students to become friends of their personal site and then wish they didn't. I would suggest Google Groups. It is free. It requires a login and password. You can upload documents to share. Teacher and students can post threaded conversations and reply to posted questions. A teacher would setup the group as the group administrator. No perfect, but free. Saywire is a great social networking/web 2.o website, but is expensive. One final note. If a teacher wants a web site unblocked, they must make the request in writing or by email. I review it and in most cases I will unblock it. However, I inform the teacher that they will be held responsible for anyone (their students and all other students) who get in trouble using it. If an administrator directs me (has not happened) to unblock or stop blocking web sites, I will do so ONLY after they give me a signed written statement that will release me of any possible harm or liability and that they accept full responsibility for student or staff inappropriate use. Thanks for your time and help.

RE: [info-tech] software purchasing
Generally, district productivity software, such as Office, Publisher, Acrobat, etc. are paid out of my technology funds. Teacher requests for specific grade level or department level software comes from their budget. If it is expensive or will cover several dept or grades, I make an exception. Regardless, teachers must complete an official requisition, submit it to the Principal and then to me. I will then have a conversation with the teachers about the purpose of the software and how it fixes into instruction. I had one teacher who wanted to purchase 25 copies of a program at $100 each to do a one day supplimental activity for her class. She thought that I should buy it. She thought differently when she found out it was coming out of her budget. I suggested that she purchase one copy, use a data projector and do it as a class activity.

[info-tech] Teachers Must Keep Up with Technology
Teachers Must Keep Up with Technology - From the Valley News Dispatch Nowadays, all across America, schools are being equipped with computers. In some schools, each classroom has a computer; others have computer labs. But do America's teachers and students really know what they are doing when they sit down at a computer? Students are being exposed to using technology very early in life so they usually can do just about anything. However, many children don't know how to evaluate what makes a good source of information or do not know of the possible dangers of chatting with someone online For the full story, visit http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleynewsdispatch/opinion/s_194442.html http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleynewsdispatch/opinion/s_194442.html Note: If you receive an error, please copy the complete URL and paste it into your browser window.
