I read this posting about a study that came out at the turn of the year on Internet use? Do you agree with the author? Do you think that children's internet use could be compared to adults?

find a novel use for a new technology and share with the class
Go online and find a novel use of a new technology for the classroom. A repurposing of an existing technology. ie.. some teachers use Twitter to send homework assignments to parents every day. What other general use technology might you repurpose for classroom use.
(suggestion: go to google.com and search for more.. there is a blog search) and search for a name of a technology and the word classroom.. Discuss if you think this is a good idea or come up with an idea of your own.

Ferpa and Classroom Wikis
This recent post in another's blog http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/teaching-with-technology-articles/ferpa-and-social-media/ discusses the issues of the Family Educational Rights Protection Act. Which protects students' privacy when it comes to academic records. Read the article (and perhaps refer to the links on what is FERPA at the bottom) and develop a plan for having students share content in online format like blogs and wikis.

Snow days
As the weather is looming, I wonder, how could schools be using technology in more meaningful ways to avoid snow days?
Here is an article about one school that is doing this. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/answer-sheet/technology/school-district-turns-snow-day.html
What kind of skills or training might teachers need? What about the digital divide?
