While on twitter (at digitaldads) today, I stumbled upon news of this exciting new PBS Frontline Project, Digital_Nation: Life On The Virtual Frontier. This link takes you to a trove of great video clips from the parenting section of the yet completed film. Mark your calendars for a January broadcast and check out some of the interactive content on the website (PBS is trying some creative approaches to how a 60-minute documentary gets 'broadcasted' or released before completion)

Here are a few of the video clip topics you'll find:

* Hopes for My Daughter: Digital Nation Correspondent Douglas Rushkoff wants his young daughter to learn the value of offline life in an increasingly online world.

* The Password Battle: Evan Skinner, a mother of four, wants in; her kids want to keep her out.

* A Facebook Fiasco: Videos of a rowdy train ride Cam Skinner and friends took to a rock concert ended up online ... and the PTA got involved.

* Advice for Parents: Parents don't need to worry about their kids online, provided they keep the lines of communication open.

Check out this blog post at DigitalDads.com for a deeper discussion of how Frontline is engaging parents, school administrators, and other perspectives on how technology is impacting our children's education - how they learn, ways it helps/hurts them in school, etc.
