 * ** [|Digital Dossier]  **


 * Themes: **


 * ** You have to be parents, know what your child is doing  **
 * ** It’s about childs development  **
 * ** Parents don’t understand how nothing is private  **


 * “Expert” Speakers **
 * Doug Fodeman from [] **


 * ** gave helpful hints- what’s age appropriate  **
 * ** magical age of 13 is not actually a magical age  **
 * ** Gave parents the tools to explain to kids why they are not allowed to do this  **


 * Logistics **


 * ** Lower school and upper school talks  **
 * ** technology isn’t going anywhere and it can be effective and efficient (it’s a good thing!)  **
 * ** AUP - we have one, but what’s really in it?  **
 * ** involve parents and students in the process of creating the AUP  **
 * ** about intent of use not actual use  **
 * ** in the middle school have the kids on the student council look at it and work on it (parents are not yet involved)  **
 * ** Program at school that all families attend - should have a social media element  **
 * ** School Policy on being friends with parents/students on facebook  **
 * ** No current students or parents (Alums)  **
 * ** allowed to accept linked in friendship  **
 * ** different personal then their teaching personas - a facebook teaching page (edmodo as an alternative?) In some schools this goes against policy  **
 * ** Look at the [|Board of Ed policy] as an example  **
 * ** use social media, it’s great but use if professionally  **
 * ** loopholes- you can be friends with your niece, daughter etc.  **
 * ** Mashup presentation of common sense, etc.  **
 * ** Have the counselor / psychologist etc. there to help  **
 * ** Have a parent panel  **
 * ** Have families talk about let’s do our facebook page together  **
 * ** getting into family conversation- some families kids watch tv yes, other families they don't  **
 * ** Similar to talking about any tough topics = better er to have open and honest conversations they want to know they have an adult checking in on them  **
 * ** parents don’t understand technology and that’s often why they are nervous about parenting on these topics  **
 * ** There are new things coming out all the time - we can’t fully be experts, things are always changing  **
 * ** It’s about how to parent, it’s not about tech (or just about tech)  **
 * ** parent talks about parental guidance > parent controls  **
 * ** kids can get around the blocks schools put in  **


 * Lesson Ideas **


 * ** Using Edmodo to teach social media  **
 * ** a safe space to fail  **
 * ** a place for students to learn how to use social media  **
 * ** it has to be taught  **


 * ** Give students a footprint- have the students design what they want to be in their footprint. They are in control of what’s in their footprint- they can come across as a rockstar!  **
 * ** Grab some twitter posts - you can’t take away what you say  **
 * ** Celebrities use this stuff for self promotion- show how they send out really positive messages  **
 * ** Cautious tale and positive tale of technology  **
 * ** focus group with older students- have the older students do the classes and teach how to use technology - they have gone thru the process  **


 * Challenges **


 * ** Snapchat- big problem (“consequence free” pictures- they only last 10 minutes)  **
 * ** Instragram  **
 * ** some teachers teach this and use social media other videos dont  **
