Preparing our students for Media Literacy!

We already have a huge job ahead of us, thinking about the best and most interesting way to deliver our curriculum. In doing this, we can easily lose sight of internet safety and call it someone else's job. I love a quote in the article I posted on our discussion board "Choosing Not To Go Down the Not-so-good Cyberstreets"--the more technology around us, the more need for human touch" This is true in so many respects, and it definitely fits into the rationale behind leading the way and showing students the appropriate uses of the internet.
Well, I tried searching for who would be responsible for this and a lot of the same things that we've already said came up. We've already said so much about the importance of educating our students, and the more I researched it, the more it seems to be the individual teacher's responsibilty. It seems that the term being used to decipher this internet training is "media literacy". There's a book by Julie Frechette titled "Developing Media Literacy in Cyberspace" that seems to be all about teaching students how to decipher the validity and worth of what they see on the internet. Teaching this really lays the groundwork for developing critical thinking skills for later use.
I think we all agree that educating our students on how to use the internet safely is a top priority. That poses some problems though, because time is of the essence in terms of curriculum delivery. And from all of our discussions, the importance of "internet training" varies depending on what grade we teach.
If we instill these values on how to use the internet properly at a young age then it lays the groundwork for them being experienced internet practitioners. But, how can we ensure that this is being done?
I attached an article that I like because it is realistic about the fact that we cannot expect perfection from our students in terms of their private use; we can only educate them. I also liked the article in terms of the "responsibility" topic that Christopher raised. At the very end of the article (the beginning repeats what we've said but in an eloquent way), they list "what should be done?" One idea is professional development for teachers on how to teach children about safe internet use. The other suggestion made by the article is that perhaps our ministry needs to come up with objectives on the safe and responsible use of the internet that are appropriate for different grade levels.
