Hi all, I hope you are having a great winter break. I need some guidance - and so am reaching out to my favorite professionals. And I do recognize that this is a bizarre request. ;) I am about to release some important professional development materials. This will be an approximately 2 hour professional development video (narrated slides) addressing Internet safety. There will be a 30 page handout. It is quite comprehensive - covers what I think teachers need to know to address Internet safety issues. It could be a book - but I am trying to be more brief. And I will provide information that should allow folks to get 2 continuing education hours. Here is what my material covers: Part I ~ Instructional Insight Background Material on Issues and Concerns. Influences on Online Behavior. Instructional Objectives. Effective Education and Risk Prevention. Protecting Children. Empowering Teens. Part II ~ Internet Safety Education Cyber Safe Kids ~ Primary Cyber Savvy Kids & Teens ~ Intermediate, Middle and High School Foundational Issues. Making good choices. Addictive access. Posting personal information. Interacting with others. Sites and Technologies. Computer security and scams. Acceptable use agreements. Online pornography. Market profiling and advertising. Social networking. Specific Risks. Electronic aggression. Risky sexual and personal relationships. Guidance for Parents. School Staff Online. Several lesson plans. I also have a scope and sequence for instruction - K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12. This covers all of the issues set forth for students in Part II. And 1 to 6 page handouts for each of these grade levels. These are not specific lessons. They are the material from which lessons can be created. The material described in this paragraph will be provided for no cost for non-profit educational activities. There will also be one page versions of the student material and material that can be used for posters or computer screens that will be included with the professional development resources. I have worked for many months on this. And do intend to charge for these materials. I have no grants or funding. But I am trying to figure out how much to charge. Given the financial situation in schools I am inclined to charge low. But a colleague of mine who is a business school professor advises against this. Apparently, the research indicates that charging low leads to a perception of lack of credibility. I think I have established credibility with you folks. I want to make sure I establish credibility with your principals and other teachers. This is very important because there is a significant degree of misunderstanding about these issues - and I am presenting accurate, research-based information. So I am hoping some of you would be willing to tell me what you think the top amount I could charge - and the ideal amount. I am also trying to be responsive to school size. Please tell me if these numbers for sizes are about right. Individual Schools (or districts) with around 400 students Schools (or districts) with around 800 students Schools (or districts) with around 1,600 students Schools over 1,600 students (Districts over 1,600 students should purchase by school or contact for special pricing.) If you are university faculty or a trainer, you will be able to obtain the presentation for a very low amount. I will set up with Copyright Clearance Center, so there will be a charge for the student copies of the materials that you can pass on. Thanks in advance for any of you who are willing to help.
