Q1: How can students find and use content for multimedia projects safely and ethically? #classkickchat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

Cathy Hink here K from Seattle area sorry to be late I was shoveling snow!❄️ #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: There's a lot of resources that seem to be making their debut as media becomes more available to kids at various levels. #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

I haven't, but looks like I will soon!#classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton, @MsDanielsStormy, @Classkick

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

Q1: Safeshare #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: For example, colleges and institutions with access to digital resources are putting out best practices #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: Like this "Multimedia Storytelling" how to: https://t.co/LkV3Bw6guS #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:10 PM EST

Oooh, I haven't heard of this. It's a place for students to find media or to share media? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

LProsser15 Feb 7 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: Since my Ss are so young, I post QR codes for them to scan that are websites I have checked out first & find appropriate! #classkickchat

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: District filtering provides some safety. We often discuss what search terms to use & evaluate results together. 7/8 gr ss #ClasskickChat

Capi_CLASSics Feb 7 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: Hyperdocs have been a big thing in my class. It is important for teachers to test the material. #classkickchat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

Safeshare is a filter it cuts out ads and those annoying loops. #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: We like to use Safe Search! #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

And do you ever have your students go off to find their own content? Do you guide them about places to look? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LProsser15

dragan39 Feb 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: thankful for school wifi filters. Aid in protecting Ss searches. #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

I think the use of QR codes is a great choice for any grade level to help filter content! #classkickchat

In reply to @LProsser15

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

But have those school filters caused us to have less of those conversations about how they should and should not be looking? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @dragan39

timoman Feb 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Ss should learn abt sources, licenses, attributions so that they understand content outside of preapproved sources, too #classkickchat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

glad you can join us! Hope your staying warm! #classkickchat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:15 PM EST

Or at the very minimum, how to cite their sources when they do use something #ClasskickChat

In reply to @timoman

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:15 PM EST

Filters address safety but not usefulness of content. Still have to teach ss HOW to search. #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

But have those school filters caused us to have less of those conversations about how they should and should not be looking? #ClasskickChat
In reply to @dragan39

LProsser15 Feb 7 @ 9:15 PM EST

not too much! Our Library has great links that we have subscriptions to that I guide them to use over googling #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

dragan39 Feb 7 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1: Little trick type in _ popup in YouTube video address and no ads shown. #ClasskickChat just search it for specifics how to.

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1: It also starts with the teachers. We have to share "how" @Beyond_the_Desk said. #classkickchat

In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:16 PM EST

Absolutely agree with that!As an adult, I still sometimes perform careless searches that give me surprising/unhelpful results #ClasskickChat

In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:17 PM EST

Or I use a Chrome extension that blocks YouTube ads... Are you teaching your students about Chrome extensions? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @dragan39

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:17 PM EST

There are some great Chrome extensions that block ads too. #classkickchat

In reply to @dragan39

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1: Have you heard of KidRex search engine #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1: Kiddle is another #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:17 PM EST

Really an excellent resource that I think many schools forget about when money is tight! Having authentic content is key! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LProsser15

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:18 PM EST

Had not heard of KidRex, but you can make your own custom Google Searches that only return the results that you have created. #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:19 PM EST

Here's the link on that custom search engine creation with Google: https://t.co/SksyY0aGVt #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:19 PM EST

Great resources being shared! We also have to think about showing them the right sources! Fake information is all around #classkickchat

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

No way! I'll have to check this out! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LauraLitton, @MsHinksClass

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

Yiiiipes - Is everyone having those conversations - the same ones that Facebook is having about how to display their news? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @ODellsClassHaps

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

I have never heard of that one! I'll check it out! Thanks! #classkickchat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

Thanks I was not familiar with this. #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LauraLitton

Here was the article I read about Facebook's attempt: https://t.co/FMbtdmqnF7 #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:21 PM EST

Question #2 coming up! #classkickchat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:21 PM EST

Q2: What can students do to keep themselves safe in their social media environments? #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: I think before everything else, we need to have those conversations with students about exactly how public "online" is! #ClasskickChat

tytoews Feb 7 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: We encourage Ss to be open and transparent with concerns they have online! #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:24 PM EST

There are filters for chats but I believe knowledge, purpose and good common sense are better than any filter #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:24 PM EST

i think so. we have to look out for more and more. It is as easy as a one click and to the world it goes. #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:25 PM EST

Yes! The filter needs to come from the human being first! #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:24 PM EST

There are filters for chats but I believe knowledge, purpose and good common sense are better than any filter #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:25 PM EST

I had a Girls on the Run group where we chatted about High Schools that might be looking at their Facebook profiles... #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:25 PM EST

Even in K I remind students, "who do want to be known as" your choice reflect your chara #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2: It all starts with thinking of it as @TopDogTeaching "digital footprint" what will they leave behind. #classkickchat

In reply to @TopDogTeaching

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:26 PM EST

I asked the girls if they were okay with the HS making a decision about them based on the last thing they posted... #ClasskickChat

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2: Their need for approval & affirmation can leave them vulnerable. Support their worth IRL so they're safer online. #classkickchat

dragan39 Feb 7 @ 9:26 PM EST

Explain what is meant by digital tattoo! Currently discussing as we prepare students for mock interviews. They check! #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:26 PM EST

Their faces all turned white and the room got real quiet. "Everything you put out there can been seen!" I explained. #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:27 PM EST

I totally agree with this. The need for constant approval. #classkickchat

In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:27 PM EST

This is so crucial and overlooked! Thank you so much for mentioning and refocusing us on really attending to Ss as humans! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:28 PM EST

You ask your students to define "digital tattoo?" What kinds of responses are you hearing? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @dragan39

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:28 PM EST

A2: Almost all jobs are looking at their social media sites. Seeing what kind of person they are. We have to make them aware #classkickchat

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:29 PM EST

A2: So many cases of athletes losing offers due to social media posts. #classkickchat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:30 PM EST

A2: I wonder with instructional tech going global it would be really interesting to consider one's global tatoo #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:31 PM EST

Maybe their needs to be discussion about authenticity in what people post - why we post what we do #ClasskickChat

dragan39 Feb 7 @ 9:32 PM EST

@LauraLitton mostly the word permanent is mentioned regarding tattoo. It can all be screen captured quickly. #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LauraLitton

timoman Feb 7 @ 9:32 PM EST

A2: Reminding students that online and real life are not and should not be so different #classkickchat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:32 PM EST

A2: We have start teaching digital citizenship even in the primary grades. My 4th graders help 1st graders with their posts. #classkickchat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:33 PM EST

This is totally true. Most of them think of them as separate things! #classkickchat

In reply to @timoman

MsDanielsStormy Feb 7 @ 9:33 PM EST

Greetings !1st Grde teacher... new to this chat so will be watching, learning and connecting #classkickchat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:33 PM EST

Where are your 1st graders posting? (The collaboration with older mentor students is AWESOME, by the way!) #ClasskickChat

In reply to @ODellsClassHaps

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:34 PM EST

I'll admit I had to think about this to see if I agree. I do. And I think that perspective changes things. #classkickchat

timoman Feb 7 @ 9:32 PM EST

A2: Reminding students that online and real life are not and should not be so different #classkickchat

timoman Feb 7 @ 9:35 PM EST

I've never heard of "digital tattoo" before, that seems like a a good analogy #classkickchat

In reply to @dragan39, @LauraLitton

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:35 PM EST

Do you discuss with your students the types of photos they are posting? What kind of revealing details the photos might have? #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:35 PM EST

for them we focus on appropriate comments. #classkickchat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:36 PM EST

Lego has a social media system for kids. Navigating social media def isn't an adult only issue. https://t.co/3Jctgh9dvd #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:36 PM EST

Absolutely & in this era of Snapchat, it almost seems encouraged to take screenshots as evidence/blackmail/lasting elements #ClasskickChat

In reply to @dragan39

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:37 PM EST

A2: We start teaching peer-coaching even in K - I am impressed with the sensitivity they have, "Maybe consider.. Perhaps.." #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:38 PM EST

This whole online presence of Lego makes me pretty skeptical. I feel like Ss should be experiencing the tactile aspect! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk

timoman Feb 7 @ 9:38 PM EST

I'm oversimplifying, but protecting oneself and respecting others apply IRL & online share same rules, IMO #ClasskickChat

In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:38 PM EST

A2: I wonder if coaching began early if it would have a positive impact in later years..its about respect and acceptance #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:39 PM EST

& being able to really picture oneself in the other person's shoes so you can understand why they may have made that decision #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:39 PM EST

Moving with the digital foot print and tattoo. Q2: How do we help students minimize their footprints and tattoos? #classkickchat

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:39 PM EST

My son wants 2 share his builds w/other kids. Considered YouTube channel but this will be good place 2 start. #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:40 PM EST

A2: I also hope with the emphasis growth mindset we might start accepting each other as imperfect and celebrate growth #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:41 PM EST

Whoops! That should have been Q3! A3: Reminding students to think twice about what their words are sayings. #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:41 PM EST

A3: I wonder if it could start with a simple Google Search of themselves, to see what is out there and make them aware. #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:42 PM EST

A3: First lesson I teach in writing is to "think first" :) #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:42 PM EST

A3: I have heard that a Google Search of oneself has yielded powerful reality checks. #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:43 PM EST

A3: I learning that the issue of impulsivity is not unique to K #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:43 PM EST

I did it in college and found two other Laura Littons that I connected with on Facebook and shared our life stories! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

A3:Emphasize the tattoo! We had a presentation awhile back that was on: being 3-5 clicks away from personal information #Classkickchat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:44 PM EST

Fascinating! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LauraLitton

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:44 PM EST

We did when reading I Am Malala. She searched & found threats. Looked at what we find when we search ourselves. #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

timoman Feb 7 @ 9:44 PM EST

A3: I don't know that "minimize" is necessarily the right goal... perhaps "expand cautiously?" Or are those the same thing? #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:44 PM EST

Is anyone using a digital tool to help students track their footprint? Like https://t.co/Vc4KZc2gV5 #ClasskickChat

In reply to @ODellsClassHaps

Tchrs must be aware what restrictions their Ss have regarding posting their pics on social media. Ask first before posting! #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:46 PM EST

Thanks for the resource! I have not heard of that one! #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:46 PM EST

A3: Do teachers ever have students read threads and comment on how they perceive the participants #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:47 PM EST

Oooh - that's really innovative! I could see an entire classroom debate spanning from an activity like that! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

I could see this as a great idea! #classkickchat

In reply to @MsHinksClass

Classkick - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:49 PM EST

A3: We have more & more teachers that navigate to https://t.co/ipCicnxRBV using a search engine like DuckDuckGo = no tracking #ClasskickChat

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:49 PM EST

A3: I could all sorts of discussions on word choice, biases, assumptions, emotion vs. reason, etc. #ClasskickChat

Thanks for jumping! Feel free to share more of your thoughts! #classkickchat

In reply to @TopDogTeaching

ahrowland Feb 7 @ 9:50 PM EST

A3: read articles (that Ss find relevant) about privacy/consequences, sometimes Ss don't think 1hr into future, let alone yrs #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:51 PM EST

As adults, we have those conversations about asking other people not to "tag" us in photos. Do we teach our Ss that, too? #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:52 PM EST

Question 4 will be coming up! #classkickchat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:53 PM EST

A3: I think it is important to talk to our students about what it is they are posting rather it be words or pictures. #classkickchat

#classkickchat

In reply to @ODellsClassHaps

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:54 PM EST

Q4: How do you use technology and teamwork to help local and global communities? #classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:54 PM EST

Do you, as teachers, limit the photos that you are posting of Ss, too? So you aren't adding to their digital footprints? #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:56 PM EST

A4: I think technology allows us to speak in a way that more people can access. We can open up new viewpoints in a community. #ClasskickChat

Beyond_the_Desk Feb 7 @ 9:56 PM EST

We have a list of ss who aren't allowed to be posted, & I never publicly "tag" them. #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:56 PM EST

We hope the pictures we post would add to the positivity of their #digcit #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

MsHinksClass Feb 7 @ 9:57 PM EST

A4: Yikes, never thought of that - never names, not out to internet/social media but due post pictures on Seesaw #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:57 PM EST

A4: I think giving our Ss an authentic voice, via technology (& in our classrooms), lends more perspective to our community #ClasskickChat

LProsser15 Feb 7 @ 9:58 PM EST

A4: I post to Twitter but only the kids that are not on our "no photo" list and I don't post names! I post those in Seesaw #classkickchat

tytoews Feb 7 @ 9:58 PM EST

A4: I currently have Ss creating #Gsuite drawings to go onto sites, regarding creating their #learningspace #Classkickchat

LauraLitton Feb 7 @ 9:58 PM EST

Just like teachers who blog help tell the story from within the classroom to politicians...Ss have the chance to share w/tech #ClasskickChat

ODellsClassHaps Feb 7 @ 9:59 PM EST

A4: We use @seesaw blogs to post with other classrooms around the world to work on global collaboration. #classkickchat
