Description: The internet has fundamentally changed our access to information and our means of communication, and these changes affect us all directly, as professionals and as citizens. This workshop focuses on the perils and pitfalls that face educators and other personnel in their use of the internet and email, both at work and at home. We will discuss how we communicate at work, employees’ privacy issues and social networking and other online activities while off duty. We will also explore school “acceptable-use policies,” and other issues related to our digital rights and responsibilities.
