So much hype, mystique and fear surrounds sharing on the internet. As a result, it can be hard to know what is OK to post and what isn’t. Some teachers and students can be scared to share their work online. Others over share. It can be hard to strike a balance, know where to draw the line and be confident in your decisions when publishing.
A few teachers at my school (Garry Baker, Hiromi Hosoi, Joy Seed and myself) realized these problems were very prominent in our school. Administration had mentioned it, teachers had mentioned it and we felt it was important for students to see it. So we decided to develop a poster to help our community and other communities be confident when publishing by developing publishing guidelines.
These guidelines are designed to be used in all types of publishing situations, online and offline. They are good for students, but they hear these messages all the time. I think this poster will be the most powerful for teachers and give them some confidence when publishing their own or other peoples work online.
Please feel free to use this poster, it was designed to be used in any school. I made it A3 size so that it can be printed large without pixelating. All I ask is that you credit the teachers that created it when you use it.
