Beth Dichter's insight:
Planet Nutshell tells stories through animation. Their website provides access to videos in three areas: * Climate Change - a series of 11 videos that explore issues in climate change including What is Climate, Too Much Carbon Dioxide and How the World can Tackle Climate Change. In addition to the series there is also a list of resources used to create the series. * NetSafe is a series of videos that explore issues that students may experience online. The videos are divided into grade levels. There are four videos for Grade K - 3 that explore What is the Internet?, What is Personal Information?, Tell an Adult, and Be Kind Online. For Grades 4 - 6 you will find five videos including " Cyberbullies are No Fun!, Understanding Online "Friends", and Posting Pictures Online. Five videos are available for Grades 7 - 12 including How to Stop Cyberbullying, Protect Your Personal Information and Say No to "Sexting". Several other videos cover Distracted Driving, Public WiFi Network Safety and Mobile Location Privacy. These videos also allow you to download the transcript. * A third category is Borrow Wisely that discusses FAFSA, Student Loans, and Financial Aid. It appears that they continue to create videos for education (as well as businesses).

"Student digital privacy is a critical currency, to be safeguarded by schools and pillaged by predators. Interactive, social Web 3.0 resources demand proactive ways to access tech tools and still preserve learners’ anonymity.
Beth Dichter's insight:
How do we teach students the concept of privacy? How do we help them understand this concept when so much of their lives are online and open to all? This post discusses how "privacy is the new predator", providing many resources to help you work with your students. Have you heard about Facehawk? It is an interactive video that takes information from your Facebook account and creates a hawk that uses "photos and statuses from since your digital life began." On one hand we tell students that they need to keep their private information private, yet websites ask them to upload their picture. To assist with this issue there is a list of websites that allow students to create avatars. Additional resources focus on Digital Citizenship and Modern Internet Safety, Web 3.0, and New Media Literacy.
