How to avoid sending something that can get you into trouble online
Internet Super Heroes - Cyberbullying, Flaming and Cyberstalking [CFC] for Kids, Tweens and Teens This is the piece I talked about in Think Before You Click Send. Many people are viewed as being rude, hostile or predatory merely becasue of a misunderstandning. (What we have here is a failure ot communicate! :-) for those of you too young to recognize that quote, forgive me, my age shows. :-))
Its a good checklist for the workplace as well. You are welcome to use it in employee training, as long as you credit me and InternetSuperHeroes.org.
IM, e-mail and interactive communications are designed for quick and casual communications. Becasue of this, we tend ot forget to check things before sending, and even if we remember, may not be willing to take the time. (As you may have noticed, I need a spelling checker on everything I do, and often don't bother...you may find yourself trying to figure out what I am attempting to say, it's so garbled :-( )
But do as I say, not as I do...and you'll be much better off. :-)
thanks,
Parry

Unintended Consequences: February 2004 Archives - A great blog!
Unintended Consequences: February 2004 ArchivesI was searching for references ot WiredSafety.org, the non-profit help group I run, and discovered this blog (after noting a reference to us). I was very impressed with Doug's writing and his approach, using questions after a posting. I'll watch his blog, and suggest you do too.

MSNBC - Cell phones and kids: Do they mix?
MSNBC - Cell phones and kids: Do they mix?Kids are using mobile phones ot cyberbully each other these days. And few parents udnerstand that while they may police their kids' use of chatrooms, no one is policing their use of SMS and other text-messaging applications from their cell phones. And photo and video capabilites haven't escaped tween and teen abuse either. Cell phones are great for kids, but parents should take to their kids about more than running up long distance charges. It's all about responsible use of technology.

CNN.com - Keeping name private can be crime, court rules - Jun 21, 2004
CNN.com - Keeping name private can be crime, court rules - Jun 21, 2004 This U.S. Supreme Court decision upheld a Nevada law that permitted someone to be arrested for failing to provide their name and identification in an unprovoked stop by law enforcement. It means that in the states with similar laws, or the states that will adopt such laws, you have to provide ID if the law enforcement officer asks you for it, even if you haven't done anything wrong.
At least one Supreme Court Justice saw this as violating the person's civil rights. But in a post-September 11th world, requiring people to prove who they are is more acceptable than it might otherwise be.
It's the law now, so arguing won't make much of a difference. And if not abused and used only within its correct boundaries, this may not be a problem. But what if it's misused or abused?
that worries me.
