User Rights and Digital Norms

Mindy Fisher
The piece where I have some struggles is the idea of freedom of speech and the rights to privacy--I can see where one person can impede on another's right to privacy and site freedom of speech to do it.  I think it is important that we all play a role in educating our students on exactly what this means.  Freedom of speech does not give you the right to say bad/threatening things about someone else.

As a bullying investigator for our district it amazes me how many times students thing that they can say anything about any one on social media and it is their right to free speech.  I am even amazed at how many parents stand up for their student's behavior becasue it did not happen at school or use school equipment.  

I do think this is a very important topic! I think it would be great if we all used the information to help students! But this would even be a great parent night topic!
