June is Internet Safety Month

June is Internet Safey Month, a great time to hold a Delete Day with your students or plan one for back-to-school. What is Delete Day? It's a campaign devoted to ending digital abuse and creating a culture of respect and community on the Web. And it's the brainchild of students from The Mary Louis Academy, a high school in Queens, NY, which held the first Delete Day on May 6.

How Delete Day Works
Students gather together in a computer lab or classroom to do the following:
  • Delete Formspring pages
  • Delete inappropriate pictures or comments from Facebook pages
  • Delete "friends" who are unknown
  • Delete personal information that is dangerous
  • Delete groups that may be hurtful or offensive
  • Create an email address that is appropriate for formal correspondence

Remembering Memorial Day!

I found this really beautiful video from Humanity Healing , that helps us remember the significance of what Memorial Day is all about. I have several military families that train with me, and several members that have been deployed over the past three years. Thankfully, no one I know personally has been wounded or killed. However, we are engaged in two wars and the reality is we have men and women who continue to be in harms way. Let's say a prayer for the fallen, and those still serving on the front lines! Thank you to all who serve and those that gave their lives to protect our freedom! Happy Memorial Day! Sensei Chris Feldt Samurai Karate Studio Columbia, SC 29229 803-462-9425
