"The problem is that to have a Google Docs account, you need an email address. You need it to verify your Google Docs account. Most elementary and some middle school students don’t have email addresses and their parents may not want them to have one. If a teacher helps a student create an email account and the student uses that account for troublemaking or connects to the wrong people, there could be some liability issues. At least that’s what scares teachers."

"In collaboration with my colleague Mike Hutchinson, I have begun to introduce the tools of the Read/Write web to my students. Specifically, my class is now blogging and podcasting. Blogging and podcasting has allowed me to create a forum where my students discuss current events connected to our social studies curriculum while developing language arts skills like critical thinking and persuasive dialogue. It has also given my students the opportunity to be creators—rather than simply consumers—of online content. Finally, blogging and podcasting have given my students an audience for their ideas, which has increased levels of interest and motivation."
