I believe part of this educating the parents. I think it is important to have a parent education night if at all possible (and distribute information to the parents in as many other forms as well) about the risks of children in social media. Correct me if I am wrong, but 13 is the age the they can sign a cosent for their own actions. (the online agreement for Facebook for example). Also talking to the parents about the childs ability to intrupret the written text versus the verbal. We as adults have problems with that. Its important that parents have access to their childs social media accounts. There just so many other things that I add to the conversation with parents than I am mentioning here but I think you get the point.

Parent Release of Student work/Photo
Posted on Jul 26, 2012 by Meredith Blache Latest activity: Jul 31, 2012
Does anyone have a sample of a photo, video, work release (or not release) they use for their students they are willing to share?

Team Projects
Posted on Jul 24, 2012 by Meredith Blache Latest activity: Jul 26, 2012
With so many of the Adobe project being a single user tool, other than video projects are teachers using other Adobe products in group, partner or team projects in the classroom? How are you modeling "real world" work flow?

Teaching a tool or teaching a subject?
Posted on Jul 24, 2012 by Meredith Blache Latest activity: Jan 31, 2013
When teaching students the Adobe Products, are you teaching your students the tools or are you teaching your students about a subject and using an Adobe tool to complete an assignment? How much time is spent on teaching the Application/tool versus the subject ie the lesson, if you are teaching another subject? If you are teaching a tool why? Is there a reason for example, Your class is "Adobe Photoshop".

How should we teach digital citizenship and responsibility with younger students?

Apps in Education
Posted Jul 25, 2012
I actually use Photoshop Express alot for quick editing and cropping of images. I think project management is one of the biggest concerns for the mobile devices actually. How do the student turn in work etc. For that I use a series of tools such as evernote, dropbox and Image Capture (on the Mac).
Copyright issues!

I think one of the biggest problems is, some of their teachers (and or parents) are setting bad examples. It is difficult for One teacher to "teach" them what is right when another teacher is breaking all the rules. We need to make sure our fellow teachers understand the laws as well.
Assessing Creative
Posted Jul 25, 2012
I always found it hard when giving an assignment for example that was about complementary colors and the student created a beautiful piece yet they did not use complementary colors. It was difficult to give them a low grade but according to my rubric it was clearly spelled out.
Copyright issues!

I defantately get the parents involved each and every time that happens. Also give the kids the senario, what if it WAS yours and you charged $100 for each copy of it, how would you feel then? That usually gets more of a response out of them.
Copyright issues!
Posted Jul 25, 2012
I like to give the students a (guided) research assignment related to copyright. We usually talk about what it means to have their own work to be copyright as soon as it is created. We talk about how they would feel if they had a photo or a piece of art they created and someone else started to use it without their permission. We talk about the use of music as well (this is when the conversation usually goes south quickly) It is interesting when you tell them the fine for having/using music without permission - I do believe it is $14K per song. After the research project then we talk about how to get permission to use work, how to ask and or how to find the Creative Commons work OR ultimately how to create their own work. Of course they must always learn how to cite the owner (including themselves).
As a teacher I always go into the meta data if images a check to see info of images and "call" the students any cheating. I think it is so important to "bust" them as early as possible so they learn that to be honest.
Creative Academic Curricula
Posted Jul 25, 2012
With the revision of Bloom Taxonomy ( http://www.odu.edu/educ/roverbau/Bloom/blooms_taxonomy.htm ) Creating is the highest level of intellectual behavior. With that being said, if teachers are teaching towards the needs of the learner related to Blooms Taxonomy, Creating should fall right into place in their curriula structure.

How should we teach digital citizenship and responsibility with younger students?
Posted Jul 25, 2012
In our state, the Washington State Patrol has a team that comes out to the schools and talks the students about online safety I wonder if this happens in other states. I know it is very affective as i have heard that chatter when I go to the various schools at bring up the subject with the different classes.

Actually at a High School level you could have the students do a research paper on the repercusions of online postings. I know in washington state alone there have been many high profile stories in the news about students getting into trouble for what they have done online.
