Comments on: First draft to request to use Flickr http://anne.teachesme.com/2006/08/14/first-draft-to-request-to-use-flickr/ Comments, reflections and occasional brainstorms Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:12:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.4-bleeding By: eMotion Memories http://anne.teachesme.com/2006/08/14/first-draft-to-request-to-use-flickr/#comment-62733 eMotion Memories Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:25:31 +0000 http://anne.teachesme.com/2006/08/14/first-draft-to-request-to-use-flickr/#comment-62733 It amazes me how many technology educators are looking at sites like Facebook and Flickr knowing full well of the dangers of using public-access social networking sites like these for school use by minors. We designed <a href="http://www.emotionmemories.com/" rel="nofollow">eMotion Memories Online Campus</a> from the ground up to be totally safe and secure from online predators, and it offers schools <strong>free</strong> tools like Blogs, multimedia galleries, chat rooms, and eNotes, a safe alternative to E-mail that many of our schools use to communicate electronically with children as young as first grade. Safe Social Networking does exist, you just have to look beyond the big sites that get free press all day.

Have you ever heard of this? Check out his blog at http://lmcrockdale.blogspot.com. There is no doubt that our project will be a LoTi 5! See you soon! Anne:

I took me many emails to the corporate people to unblock the site for school use. I used the following website to put some pressure on them: <a href="http://schools.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=il&catcode=nwslttr_index&icttypeid=2&icteditionid=21&ictsectionid=&ictsubsectionid=&ictitemid=518" rel="nofollow">http://schools.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=il&catcode=nwslttr_index&icttypeid=2&icteditionid=21&ictsectionid=&ictsubsectionid=&ictitemid=518</a> Becta is the govermnet organisation in the UK for ICT and schools. I also pointed them to the terms and conditions and community guidelines on Flickr. A couple of schools I have been in to this last few months have now set up accounts and use it to support their blogs, an example is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/owspupils Hope that helps Steve Anne
