We'd like to remind you one more time to log in today to the online discussion, "Navigating the Legal Landmines Around New Technologies," featuring NSBA Senior Staff Attorney,Thomas Hutton. The discussion will take place live from NSBA's T+L Conference in Nashville at 12 noon Central Time.
New technologies such as cell camera phones and online teen hangouts are prompting serious discussions about their use and abuse. Recent examples, such as students posting surreptitiously taken teacher videos onto YouTube, have ignited concern about the presence of these technologies in and out of the classroom. What are the legal issues emerging from these new technologies? How schools can balance First Amendment protections with student safety? How should school board policies adapt to these technological advances?
We invite you to join the discussion during the live hour or post your questions now. (Note: The discussion will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Mountain/10 a.m. Pacific.)
And while you're at it, be sure to check out the archive of yesterday's online discussion with Will Richardson. He examined the educational benefits of social networking for students and teachers.
