Thank you all for your really good suggestions! Privacy is truly a matter that should be of the highest concern for everyone developing comprehensive digital literacy strategies. The inclusion of privacy in the agendas of the high level debates around the world should be encouraged, and by all means informed by all the stakeholders involved. Some countries have done considerable efforts, as the case of Canada and the European Union, others have neglected and even evaded the straight discussion, as it seems the case of the US, who has fail to provide solid frames both for education and regulation. Our recently conformed group of researchers at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley has come together in a truly multidisciplinary work to provide technically and culturally informed insights, to shape a comprehensive-educational strategy to reduce threads on privacy and security over the Internet, guiding users to make informed decisions regarding their online practices. As our research is in its early phases, we would be glad to receive more of your comments and recommendations in order to create value, so we can hopefully make contact with the research community as soon as we will start producing preliminary findings.

Dear AoIRists
Sorry for cross postings. I'm Gerardo Sánchez, research assistant at the International Computer Science institute in Berkeley California. As a part of a new project we are launching this fall regarding innovative teaching privacy strategies for K-12 scholars, a group of collaborators and I (Blanca Gordo, Gerald Friedland, Dan Garcia, et al) are developing new techniques for teaching privacy issues over the network society. In this regard, I would like to receive some feedback and recommendations from the community on relevant literature and multimedia material if there is something like relevant literary narratives or fables for raising awareness to kids or the public over their posting practices and their online behavior.
I would appreciate your valuable insights
Best Regards
Gerardo Sánchez Research Assistant International Computer Science Institute
