  From Scott McLeod - an article that he says he does not agree with, but does state that this is the current law as it pertains to teacher behavior outside school.

• Open Thinking & Digital Pedagogy » Blog Archive » Flickr Perversion

  This is why I don't share the photos of my children online in public places. After one pic of a child at school was favorited in this way, I took the pic down and am ridiculously vigilant about checking to see how many photos have been favorited and which ones to see if there is one that some sicko has looked at.
  
  This is an article I'm going to share with my digiteen dream team! It is an important one to share!

• FOXNews.com - Cyberbullying: Parents, Tech Companies Join Forces to Keep Kids Safe - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News

  Excellent article on cyberbullying and an example of a girl who was harrassed online and killed herself. This sort of thing is tragic and we should consider what we think aboutinternet harrassment penalties, particularly against children.
  
  There are mention of several websites including one I'd never heard of called CyberBully Alert.

• A joint survey by Highlights for Children and Glubble for Families

  Forward this survey to parents - it is a highlights and glubble joint survey. I'm glad they are looking at this because I know of very few parents who discuss online activities and safety with their child.

• Vaio laptop safety recall

  Again, as a health thing, you shouldn't REALLY put a laptop on your lap. I have a food tray that I use when I use my laptop in the recliner. In addition to claims that it causes infertility in men, it is also not good for your laptop to cover the ventilation holes with your clothing (or that little bit of pudge on your thighs.)
  
  This is something to mention to laptop users as part of digital health and wellness with digital "citizenship" and safety.
