Whew! My head is spinning from hearing everyone talk about their reports on so many of these issues—sexting, censorship, parent responsibility, balancing technology and nature, the importance of relationships...and much more. Some good research into these topics and some excellent sharing of educational implications and what, as future teachers, they can do about it.
I was struck by the fact that most of these topics/issues existed before technology...and while technology has made them more immediate and compelling, it is still the human aspect of the equation that is the key. As Alvin Toffler said a long time age..."high tech, high touch." That is even truer today than in the past.
So, what is the role that teachers and schools must play in making sure that students (and other adults?) use digital tools responsibly?
