Blogging - ed policy wiki

wiki. http://tinyurl.com/2hw7lx Here's the tag line: "With the
recent story of Al Upton's Minilegends in South Australia, 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?"
You can read the background blog posting at http://tinyurl.com/yrg64p
It would be great if you have something to add to the wiki - I expect
it will be an awesome resource.

Spoke with Al Upton and Sue Waters tonight. They would really like to
see us (this class or others) start something related to policy which
would extend across nations. Al threw this into the Skype chat, here
are a few of his thoughts.
"student identifiers ... permission forms ... Education (underlined)
of the 21stC ... not just online but generally ... percieved risks vs
actual risks ... openness, flexibility, consistency - needs to respect
cultural divesity ... aims/outcomes ??? protect students/
teachers.parents/leaders/admin through education ... systemic
change ... how long does parental permission last (across everything -
school websites/digital(hard-copy) identifiers ... need to hit enter
to raed what I've written"
Al and Sue thought it was a bit bigger in depth than Rodd's, and for
some reason, wanted us to start an initiative of our own. Al and Sue
would like to participate, but can't directly because of the
investigation. Any one interested in getting something like this
started? Could be interesting.
Thoughts? Comments?

attachment?) will create sustainability. I think I understand what
they are saying about Rodd's site, but it does have the potential of
providing a source of data, so why not connected wikis? Use his for
the factual stuff, all the links to actual policies, and connect it to
this wider discussion - which has the goal to create some
international/global views on the issues. That in itself is a
monumental task, but I believe the right approach.
Multiple nodes on the network....
Just my thoughts.
