 14:09:28  VinnieV -> Room 1: Topic today - Internet Safety and what you are doing
 14:09:38  alex.ragone -> Room 1: Hello World!
 14:09:44  PeggyG -> Room 1: a crowd is gathering :-)
 14:11:05  PeggyG -> Room 1: did you say episode 118? wow!
 14:11:28  VinnieV -> Room 1: I think that it may be episode 119
 14:11:53  VinnieV -> Room 1: Hey Sarah, welcome
 14:11:59  PeggyG -> Room 1: hi everyone
 14:12:00  sarah H -> Room 1: hi--thanks for the tweet!
 14:12:13  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: Hey Sarah...
 14:12:39  PeggyG -> Room 1: I think you need to talk to kids about internet safety before 5th grade! My first grade grandkids are using the internet
 14:13:04  PeggyG -> Room 1: yes! cell phones, texting and also ipod touches
 14:13:33  sarah H -> Room 1: for sure!  My 5 year olds have a digital camera and we just had a talk about not taking pictures of tushies. . .
 14:13:53  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: I think the new Common Craft video on Online Reputation is perfect for grades 4 - 8. Not relatable for HS kids.
 14:14:33  PeggyG -> Room 1: have you ever heard Kevin Honeycutt's online safety song? it's great!
 14:14:38  VinnieV -> Room 1: Jason, I agree that the new Common Craft would be a great tool
 14:14:54  PeggyG -> Room 1: http://mysafesurf.org/  Kevin's song is here
 14:15:01  alex.ragone -> Room 1: http://www.commoncraft.com/protecting-reputations-video
 14:15:15  VinnieV -> Room 1: @peggy, that is another great resource. Kevin is wonderful
 14:15:31  PeggyG -> Room 1: he is great! and provides some excellent resources for online safety
 14:15:33  sarah H -> Room 1: I don't know the song, love the video.
 14:15:47  PeggyG -> Room 1: Kevin writes a lot of his own songs :-)
 14:16:36  PeggyG -> Room 1: great idea to treat it as digital footprint and not just tons of rules
 14:16:42  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: QUESTION: How are you teaching parents to teach their children? Too often schools bring in Police Cyber Safety folks and its the wrong approach. IMHP
 14:17:05  alex.ragone -> Room 1: hi jeff!
 14:17:10  PeggyG -> Room 1: most parents are just scared of the internet because of all of the horror stories in the media
 14:17:30  PeggyG -> Room 1: I agree jramsden!
 14:17:45  PeggyG -> Room 1: Danah Boyd has done some great presentations on internet safety
 14:18:01  arvind -> Room 1: danah boys is the guidling light of reason in a confused adult world
 14:18:20  PeggyG -> Room 1: I'm really excited to see the premier showing of the PBS documentary on Digital Nation--Feb. 2 9:00pm
 14:18:40  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: Anyone see the giveitaponder.com videos from T-Mobile (I think) - It's all about ponder it before you text it. Quite cheesy..but point as well.
 14:18:47  PeggyG -> Room 1: I'm hoping that will help parents to begin to understand more about what is happening with their kids and technology
 14:19:14  PeggyG -> Room 1: I see those tmobile ads all the time on my local tv stations
 14:19:16  VinnieV -> Room 1: my podcast and notes from danah boyd's presentation - http://vvrotny.org/2009/10/12/podcast-danah-boyds-social-media-and-youth...
 14:19:43  PeggyG -> Room 1: thanks for that link Vinnie!
 14:19:50  Jeff from Ann Arbor -> Room 1: Hi All,  glad to drop in and multitask for awhile.
 14:20:05  arvind -> Room 1: thanks for coming, Jeff
 14:20:26  sarah H -> Room 1: I remember hanging out in your live blog then Vinny--you did a good job capturing that session.
 14:20:36  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: Vinnie - you need to check out http://www.zomm.com for those teenagers. A cell phone tether; they'll never lose it again.
 14:21:24  VinnieV -> Room 1: Mine never lose the phone. But always connected
 14:21:55  PeggyG -> Room 1: Rachel Dretzin has a great video on the Digital Nation site about how their family turned off technology for dinner time :-)
 14:22:11  PeggyG -> Room 1: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/press/
 14:22:30  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: My 9yo daughter: "Dad - Do you ever put your cell phone down" Opps - some much for modeling ;-)
 14:22:54  PeggyG -> Room 1: parents really need to understand the digital footprints concept and keep the lines of communication open
 14:23:00  alex.ragone -> Room 1: @jramsden -- I have heard that. 
 14:23:21  jramsden (raventech) -> Room 1: Ok...have a great chat..Off to Global Issues to work with students doing our Take2Video on Sudan!
 14:23:37  PeggyG -> Room 1: Liz Kolb recently shared some great tips for parents re cell phones
 14:24:34  PeggyG -> Room 1: http://www.cellphonesinlearning.com/2009/02/21st-century-global-acceptab...
 14:25:23  PeggyG -> Room 1: great tips!!
 14:26:05  PeggyG -> Room 1: kids are on the internet when they are away from home--they need to learn how to do it safely when parents aren't there
 14:26:51  PeggyG -> Room 1: great food for thought today! thanks
 14:27:05  VinnieV -> Room 1: Happy new year matt
