@ColleenKR here you go, this is from the introductory chapter of Mapping Media: “Our school takes Internet safety and protecting student privacy very seriously, and as a teacher I do too. Parents and students have the choice of whether or not to post student work publicly online, but I strongly encourage it. Our national and local academic standards emphasize digital literacy, which includes students publishing and sharing their work online in a variety of multimedia formats. Our students have many choices about how they share their work online, and many of the digital projects we do don’t include student photographs or student faces in videos. In addition to the requirements for students to learn digital literacy by actively practicing it online, there are many benefits to publishing student work online. One of the biggest is having an authentic audience. I want my students to share their work with a bigger audience than me, their teacher, because I know when they do they often do better work. It can be motivating for students to receive feedback and suggestions online not only from student peers, but also from parents, grand“grandparents, or other people living in different countries. I assure you we take Internet safety very seriously, and one of the ways we do that is by practicing safe ways to interact with others online. We never share our email addresses, phone numbers, or other personal numbers like that online with others. We talk about what is appropriate and not appropriate to post about online and talk with strangers about online, and I’m confident the digital publishing we do in our class is helping students learn to develop responsible digital citizenship skills”
