digiteen2008 - Digital Literacy
This page shows that things bookmarked digital_literacy through the group automatically go to the students in the project. The teachers (who all use diigo) just tag throughout the year to have things ready to go into the wiki when it is time for the project.
Student's Wikipedia Hoax Fools Newspapers - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News - FOXNews.com
This is a great example of checking your facts. I teach students to always always confirm things they read on wikipedia with another credible source. Looks like newspapers are even less credible than we thought as some reporters need to learn to check their sources! Great article for digital citizenship discussions.

"The moral of this story is not that journalists should avoid Wikipedia, but that they shouldn't use information they find there if it can't be traced back to a reliable primary source," said the Guardian's readers' editor Siobhain Butterworth.
Pageflakes - Sandy's Literacy Blogs
40 literacy blogs aggregated on one pageflake. This is a great example of the building of customized PLN's to help others understand the purpose of a PLN. If you're a librarian or working with literacy -- why not set this to be your start page - even for just a few days to see what happens. Or, even better - use your favorite rss reader and construct your own Personal learning network using many of these blogs.
An Update to the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) « Thumann Resources
Lisa thuman blogged about the recent changes to the Children Internet Protection Act (CIPA) -- to those people who have rejected social networking and chats -- you're required to "educate minors on appropriate online safety including cyberbulling and interacting with others on social networking sites and in chat rooms."
How are you going to do this without using safe alternatives and then coach them on it? This is REQUIRED in the US if you get erate funds.
Get out there and get busy -- time for pushback. Lisa Thuman's article on this is an excellent read.
Children's Way - Teaching Kids and Parents Internet Safety
I highly recommend that elementary and middle schools at least sign up for a school code for woogi world - this is a great tool suggested by Hoover City schools for teaching digital citizenship. My daughter (my intrepid tester of all kid virtual worlds) loves it and says she thinks it is great for kids.

the 31 day comment challenge is a program to promote effective, meaningful comments run by several amazing edubloggers -- this is an example of something that those interested in facilitating effective communications should discuss and participate in.
You got the love? My week at Suffern Middle School | Welcome to NCS-Tech!
Kevin Jarrett talks about his week at one of the leaders in innovative technology, suffern Middle School. An excellent read to see what this digital revolution is all about. Wow!
facilitatortips » Online Surveys and Forms
Incredible wiki page about online surveys and forms. I highly recommend that we begin to have our students conduct surveys as part of authentic research. This is an excellent page about this topic. (The rest of the wiki is nice as well.)
The Connected Classroom » home
Kristin Hokanson's excellent wiki with many Web 2.0 resources. Excellent site!

This is a wiki being built for a digital literacy program for teachers within a school division. This approach is a great one for districts and is a way to reach everyone with current information. I also wish they had a blog to compliment it, but sharing these sorts of websites are great.
It would be nice if we had a template of information that people could copy to get started.

Open professional development by Darren Draper and Friends. These opportunities will let you open up your classroom and join in with others to learn collaboratively about blogs, wikis, and more. Take a look at it.
Global Kids
Online program that has second life presence and many other things for promoting global awareness.
Technology Integration Matrix
Technology integration matrix from Florida. This amazing resource was picked up from Lucy Gray. Really amazing.

The
Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use
technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates
five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments:
active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic,
and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003).
The
TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry,
adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the
five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together,
the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics
of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as
illustrated below. -
Levels
of Technology Integration into the Curriculum
educational-origami » home
Phenomenal page about integrating ICT into the classroom witha wide variety of rubrics based upon Bloom's taxonomy. You'll see blog journaling, wiki editing, threaded discussion, bookmarking rubrics, search rubrics, podcasting rubrics, audio conferencing, data analysis, and collaborative rubrics. I haven't been through all of these but would love it if we could go through them and work on them.
They are in PDF format, but it would be great to share and edit them collaboratively. Very nice website.
