At the beginning of every school year, we try to review the rules of the library and in the classroom. We are beginning to use many new Web 2.0 tools like wikis and blogs.
Because of all of these new tools, it is ESSENTIAL that we develop rules to ensure that students stay safe, that we are all respectful of each other, and that we can find accurate and valid information when we are using the internet.
So, let's develop a list of "guidelines" or "rules" that we're going to use when using the internet, and any other "cyber" tools that we have. Write your rule as a comment to this post below, and let's start creating a safe world for everyone!

Many of the avatar creation sites that you might wish to use for your blog are blocked by the district internet filter. There are two super sites that you can use, that are still accessible to students, both of which you might consider.
One is myavatareditor.com, which creates Wii type images.
Another option is Build Your Wild Thing.
Try it!

It's here! We're going to start experimenting with blogging with students and teachers all over the place. Can you share an experience with us that would motivate our students and teachers to write online? Thanks for any feedback.
