addressing risk involved?-Where did she post it?

Helpful Information

...understanding our frame of reference is critical

Source: http://www.jmem.ch/sbcw/images/auge-kleiner.jpg

frames are fundamental ways of looking at the world...a worldview.

They can be stories, worldviews, but they

shape our understanding of

events.

what frame are you working from?

Strict Father Frame• The World is a dangerous

place and competitive. • There are right answers,

and wrong ones. • Children must obey since

father is the authority. • Develop internal discipline

to succeed• Punishment for failure to

obey is an option. • Truth is absolute.

Nurturing Parent Frame• Shared responsibility

for raising children• Encourages children

to engage in open, two-way conversation

• Engage in community-building.

• Protect children by using life’s teachable moments.

Strict Father Response

• So we're supposed to ignore the fact that students are trading pornographic pictures via MySpace? For that reason alone I've denied access to this site.

• I'm not risking student exposure to pornography or risk alienating parents on a site that has questionable educational value at best when there are many more sites that have solid educational value.

Nurturing Parent Response

• If nothing else --the "trainwreck" of myspace--has allowed a great deal of open communication at my school with both parent's and students.

• If communication is education --which I firmly believe it is --then bring the train wreck on. I can make a lesson out of it.

How do you see yourself?• How do you see yourself? • From what perspective do you act out of most of the time?

Filter a website, and you protect a student for a day.

Educate students about online safety in a real world

environment, and you protect your child for a lifetime.

- Christopher Harris

which worldview is in play here?

conversations, not consequences, need to be

What frame were you in when watching this video the first time?

You want to be relevant? Give away your ideas. Want to become

irrelevant? Create a walled garden that keeps out more people than it

lets in.

Sharing ideas. It's what the Internet was founded for, and what it is still all

about.

"It's about making it clear that you are open and that you are not building a walled garden of content or trying to hold people hostage in

any way."
