Do you - or anyone for that matter - have a contact at Columbia.
Your brief description of their "initiatives" also defines what I've
been working on for the past few years and I may be able to contribute /
learn something.
Thanks,

I agree with a great deal of what you all are offering, and particularly
Joe's comments... Internet safety is definitely not a one shot deal. I
think schools need to look closely at the digital literacies/ values
they want to develop in their school communities and map out when and
where these literacies should be addressed in terms of time commitments
and developmental appropriateness. Let's look at this stuff from a long
range perspective and plan for it; let's also teach things in context.
This is why I'm such a fan of the School at Columbia's social networking
initiatives.
They are digging in with the kids and teaching them how to use digital
tools appropriately within an academic context.
On a related note, last summer I started working on a project with a few
others to encourage educators to think about student personal learning
networks. We strongly felt that there were certain elements that should
be introduced to students at various points in their academic careers.
We haven't done much since with this space, but you may find some
material in here that's helpful: http://studentpln.ning.com/. Hopefully,
we'll grow it when we find more time.
Also, this is a book that I used when I was in the classroom. I thought
it was very useful, but I think it's a bit out of date. It might make a
good resource is anyone is thinking about how to incorporate internet
safety into their school's curricula:
