Fair+Use+Information

Fair Use Information and questions- Presently, I feel mixed about the use of technology at our school. I am happy that many of us have trudged along and fought our way through the political, personal opinions, and lack of quality technology mazes to build and use technology with our students. I recognize the need to protect people and students. I realize the importance of it is young people's lives and their private info. However, technology has advanced with all new ways to block out and keep all users safe- or at least contained to our school.It is important that we address the use of technology with our staff. We have so many new people on staff who are more familiar with what is available and how to access it. We have many of us that have been on staff who are willing to work hard at finding out what is new, available, and how to access it. We have rich resources within our school community. We need to capitalize on our strengths to collaborate and use staff to inservice one another in the technology field they are skilled in. My goal for the technology committee is to readdress the technology plan. We need to address copyright issues, cyber bullying issues, and issues concerning how we can safely and effectively produce products using the following tools- Google Docs, blogger, jing, wiki's, updates on adobe, podcasts, youTube sights appropriate for school, as well as our mobi's. You ask why can't we do such presentations presently? We are left without permission to get the sites download due to not having the password to get this info., or we simply have blocked the site due to lack of knowledge of how to secure the site. The following is a request to look into and correct this problem. We need to continue to build a forward thinking school environment that provides quality learning tools for our students. **After all, our mission statement is to** Center for Social Media [|http://][|www.centerforsocialmedia.org] Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) [|www.fcc.gov.akadns.net/cgb/consumerfacts/cipa.html]
