What is Web 2.0?• Read only -> Read and write• Horizon Report, 2008• Manifestations include:
– Social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook)
– Blogs and RSS feeds– Wikis– Content sharing (FlickR,
YouTube, del.icio.us– 3D worlds
Randall Munroe http://xkcd.com/c256.html
Web 1.0 to Web 2.0safety issues• Protecting children from predators• Protecting children from each other
(cyberbullying) Protecting teachers from students???
• Protecting children from themselves (making inappropriate and personal information public)
…old fears
…from predators
…from each otherwww.cyberbully.org
…from themselves
…from themselves
Stacy Snyder aka“Drunken Pirate”
…from themselves
It’s never really gone
That darned free speech thing
Common sense
The danger to kids in Web 2.0 comes not from what they may find online, but from what they themselves put online for others to access.

Let’s just block it all!
• DOPA, 2006 - passed the House with 96% in favor - requirement to filter out all interactive websites
• Today - DOPA Jr.
This unnecessary and overly broad legislation will hinder students’ ability to engage in distance learning and block library computer users from accessing a wide array of essential Internet applications including instant messaging, email, wikis and blogs. - Leslie Burger, ALA President, 2006
Blocking formats not content.
For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. H.L. Menken
Why filtering is ineffective
• Best filters not 100%
• Can’t filter what goes out
• Access from outside school
• Proxies
• Mobile devices
Who do filters really stop?
Education is imperative
• Dangers are real• Schools must be proactive• Schools must reach out• Good resources on the web
– NetSmartz (movies)– iLearn
• “Safe mistakes”
Tracking Teresa
What activities teach ethical behaviors?• Articulate and demonstrate values• Reinforce behaviors• Discuss issues• Principles rather
than rules• Assessment• Low temptation
environments• Chance to practice
ScenariosLisa posts photographs from recent party that involved drinking on the FlickR website along with a really funny video of kids making out on YouTube.

Full participation?The school system’s inability to close this participation gap has negative consequences for everyone involved. - Henry Jenkins, Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture
…it is not the tools that are inherently good or evil but rather the use of the tools.
– A hammer can kill someone but it can also build a house.– A nail can be driven through a hand but it can also hold the
roof over your head.– A fist can hit but a fist can also be clasped in your hand in love.
We do not outlaw hammers, nails, or fists -- we teach people to use them properly.
So should we do with blogs, wikis, podcasts, Skype, and any other tool that becomes available for use in the human experience!

Making good decisions
• Balance
• Current AUPs– “high-quality,” – “inapropriate,” – “reasonable”
• Open to interpretation?
Love and balance are the two most important wordsin the English language.- John Wooden
District Advisory Committee• Small• Wide representation• Few, but important, meetings• Good agendas and minutes• Defined responsibilities
– Budget– Policy– Goals– Assessment
Due process for blocking• Block the minimum required by CIPA• Require that any request for blocking as
site goes through reconsideration process
• Unblock any site at professional request• Keep one unblocked computer in each
library• Make educators, not techs, responsible
for safe and appropriate use
