			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been researching and writing about Information Fluency since the turn of the century. My work is published on the <strong>21st Century Information Fluency Portal</strong>: <a href="http://21cif.imsa.edu" target="_blank">http://21cif.imsa.edu</a> You&#8217;ll find modular online learning content including games, micromodules and assessments on the portal. (Free for all educators.)</p>
<p>I include information fluency training in all of my online classes. I introduce power searching and website investigation to the graduate students studying in the E-Learning and Online Teaching Certificate Program at UW-Stout ( <a href="http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/elearningcertificate.html" target="_blank">http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/elearningcertificate.html</a> ) because I believe that Information Fluency is a foundation skill for all online teachers and learners.</p>
<p><a href="http://21cif.imsa.edu" target="_blank"><img src="http://21cif.imsa.edu/images/dif.gif" border="0" alt="dif model" width="432" height="419" /></a></p>
<p>What continually surprises me is that most educators (including those with advanced degrees) lack formal training in this field. Unless I&#8217;m working with a Library Media Specialist, most have little experience in searching, evaluating, and ethical use of digital materials.</p>
<p>Curiously, most educators think they are competent searchers and evaluators, when they are really just beginners. Their disposition is to <em>ask for help rather than search for answers</em>.  With simple instruction many radically improve their ability to search, and evaluate. This is empowering and greatly increases learner satisfaction. Instruction in copyright and fair use is also part of the program.</p>
<p>At the same time I push the idea that it is everyone&#8217;s duty to teach website evaluation and ethical use as part of any online curriculum. Too often educators assume someone else should have done the job by the time their students walk through the door. The application of information fluency to all curriculum areas is profound. Students given even rudimentary instruction in Information Fluency immediately benefit.</p>
<p>As online teachers and learners we work <em>in a computer</em> where information is just a few keystrokes away. I hope we can promote the disposition in all online teachers and learners that skilled use of Internet resources is the essential learning skill of our times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who works for an educational institution will recognize this large scale explanation of the tension between old style organizations and the new model of Internet bred collaboration.</p>
<p>The examples here should be familiar to you.  What&#8217;s intriguing is that this <a href="http://ted.org/" target="_blank">TED</a> talk took place 3 years ago and is fresh and on point right now.   Shirky predicts a revolution based on free collaborative technologies that will lead to 50 years of chaos in communications communities.  Based on what I saw at NECC 2008, the ideas are just beginning to trickle into institutionalized learning &amp; we need a little chaos to break the logjam that is clogging innovation in education.</p>
<p><span>In this prescient 2005 talk, Clay Shirky shows how closed groups and companies will give way to looser networks where small contributors have big roles&#8230; </span></p>

<p><img src="http://doconnor.edublogs.org/files/2008/04/fear.jpg" alt="fear" /></p>
<p>I was asked recently if  web publishing  pictures of kids at a summer camp on a school website was a violation of the alphabet&#8217;s soup of federal law (Coppa, Cipa, Ferpa).</p>
<p>Feeling compelled to ask this question and worrying about the answers says a lot about the media hyped climate of fear swirling around kids use of Web 2.0 technologies.  Schools feel responsible and vulnerable and tend to react by locking things down. Lock downs may stifle the use of web tech in schools &#8212; one place where kids could learn the evaluation skills needed to protect themselves on the web.  Ugly Irony.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a briefing update on new research sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation. It doesn&#8217;t surprise me that Kids aren&#8217;t learning Web 2.0 skills in school.  Perhaps outside of school is where this kind of education is destined to take place?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9928174-7.html?part=rss&amp;tag=feed&amp;subj=NewsBlog">Are wired kids well served by schools? | Tech news blog &#8211; CNET News.com</a></p>
<p>PALO ALTO, Calif.&#8211;Among the generation of kids growing up wired, many teens are hyper-motivated to learn a special skill like how to create a podcast, direct a YouTube video, publish an anime site, or hack an iPhone. &#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li>(tags: <a href="http://del.icio.us/wiredinstructor/web2.0">web2.0</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s my 5cents worth of research: </strong></p>
<p><strong>Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)</strong>: <a href="http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html</a> This  federal law addresses privacy of student records and parent &amp; student rights to access those educational records. <strong> Photos of kids at summer camp aren&#8217;t protected educational records</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Children&#8217;s Internet Protection Act</strong><strong> (Cipa)</strong>: <a href="http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/cipa.html" target="_blank">http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/cipa.html</a> &#8220;Is a federal law enacted by Congress in December 2000 to address concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers.&#8221; This law regulates school &amp; libraries receiving federal e-rate funding. It requires establishing internet safety policies and filtering technology to protect kids. <strong> </strong>See what the ALA has to say about CIPA: <a href="http://www.ala.org/ala/washoff/woissues/civilliberties/cipaweb/cipa.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.ala.org/ala/washoff/woissues/civilliberties/cipaweb/cipa.cfm</a></p>
<p><strong>Photos of kids at summer camp aren&#8217;t harmful online content.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
This is the law that is likely the source of confusion:</strong><br />
<strong>Children&#8217;s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)</strong> <a href="http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm" target="_blank">http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm</a><br />
This is an FTC act aimed at website collection of personal information from kids under 13 for commercial purposes. The FTC is regulating commercial sites <em>directed at children. </em><strong>Photographs are not mentioned in the act.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Personal information is defined as:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The Children&#8217;s Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule apply to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also cover other types of information &#8212; for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms &#8212; when they are tied to individually identifiable information.&#8221;<em><br />
</em></p>
<p>We are not collecting photographs online via sign-up forms designed to attract kids. COPPA Parent notification and permissions are tied to data collection directly from kids by a commercial website. <strong>Posting pictures of kids having fun on a school website is clearly not the object of COPPA regulations.</strong></p>
