Digital Dialog Ning

I just joined Wes Fryer’s Digital Dialog Ning. I found it after reading his blog about a digital dialog workshop he is going to do at his church. I added this to my Ning profile and thought it sounded good enough to post here.

I think digital citizenship and digital dialog are two very important issues. I use Think.com in my classroom to teach my 3rd graders about Internet safety. However, I had 2 parents balk at the idea of their child being on the Internet. “The internet scares me and I am VERY nervous about having my child use Think.com.” The other didn’t even want her child’s first name anywhere on the internet. Do they believe the Internet is one big pedophile playground? The dialog needs to be about the balance between Internet safety and Internet access.
Have you had a digital dialog with your kids?
