[LM_NET] Blog safety for students

[Lisa Nagel <lisanagel@SFX-SCHOOL.ORG>]

Target: School Blog safety for kids

Can anyone advise or give me some input on how they handle school blogs and
internet safety with postings that have images of students associated with
them?

Specifically, we have classroom blogs that teachers use to communicate with
parents on what they have done each week.  Sometimes photographs of the
students are included. We have asked that no names of students be used. Are
others this restrictive, or do some schools use first names? Also, to post
videos, some are using vimeo free accounts which do not have privacy
settings.  We would like to ask teachers to only post video if they use a
paid account with restricted access.  We are considering buying an account
to do this for the school.  Has anyone else done this and can advise?

Thank you
