Educational Policy Development
Blogging
With the recent story of Al Upton's Minilegends in South Australia (more as the story evolves), I'm wondering if folks would make use of this space to build or share regional policies or guidelines that are used to ensure safe blogging experiences for students. Can anyone help build this resource?

| Resource (idea or policy or step or guideline or suggestion) | Contributor (School District or Blogger) | Reference (hyperlink) |
| ICT in the Curriculum. I found this on DET WA website, Australia. | Grace_Kat | http://tinyurl.com/25l6yc |
| We uselearnerblogs.org. At the start of each year a letter is sent home to parents explaining what a blog is and the potential benefits, both in terms of literacy, and digital citizenship. Parents are given the opportunity to give permission for work and/or photos to appear on the class blog. In a school of 500+ primary age children, only 2 sets of parents have refused both work and photo, and a handful have refused just the child's photo. By explaining this to parents, we are being transparent with what we intend to get out of using web2.0 technologies. We also never use surnames, never identify children in photos, never put photos of individual children, and moderate all comments before children get to see them. | www.ictwills.edublogs.org New Zealand | learnerblogs.org |
| Issues around student safety Protecting students Electronic communications - students Information about what not to do which guides what is a good best practice for classroom blogs | Lorna Costantini | cyberbullying Student Privacy School Board policy |
| This policy is one I found in DET NSW, Australia, about internet and email use. Internet and Email Services: Acceptable Usage for Schools. It covers student use more than teacher responsibility. | Grace_Kat | http://tinyurl.com/37sw36 |
| Getting the Facts right: Crimes against Children Research Centre Some useful 'fact sheets' at the bottom of the page. Link from Promoting Emerging Practice by Owens Michael-Hardy A study debunks web predator myths. | Rodd Lucier | http://www.unh.edu/ccrc/ http://web2debate.wikispaces.com/ http://news.yahoo.com |
Wikis

| I use wikispaces. Specifically I use the educational space which is Ad-Free. Its simple and easy to use. I make all student wiki's private and invite all the students myself. I (or another teacher if the wiki is a shared space) are the only organisers so we control membership. By having it private the students have to log in, making it easy to trace who has editted what. I clearly explain expectations and rules before allowing membership.
