Important article to read about children of all ages creating profiles. I believe this supports our driving need to incorporate instruction and discussion on this topic in schools.

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.

Will you help my students decide the title for their new book. In order to fund their dream of going to next year's Flat Classroom conference, they have decided to take their knowledge from the year and pour it into a book.

Here is what they said:

"How do students learn about technology? Do they read HUGE text books that seems to be in a language that they can't even understand. Are they turned loose to try to find their way around the computer with absolutely NO guidance? Well all of that is about to change. The Digiteen Dream Team is about to break ground on a new project, a project that can change the way that people think about being digital. We plan to write a book. I know this is a major feat. Can you imagine a book with authors that are 14 or 15 years old(with a little help from their teacher?) A new generation of writers, and a new type of book about to be born. Oh yeah, we want you to be an author of this book too. Throughout the course of the next six weeks, we will be posting questions, stories, and even parts of our book that you will be allowed to edit. This book will not only be written by the Digiteen Dream Team, but also by the rest of the world. This book will revolutionize how you learn about being digital."

Please click here and go vote on the title that you like. Expect a wiki forthcoming and also lots of great information as they involve you (and your students) in this book. Feel free to involve your students as part of this.

We need some money for a new computer lab and cannot really do official school fundraisers for the trip to the conference. This is exciting and they are phenomenal. I'm ready to read it too.

Students are sharing what they learn and what they're doing. This is a start, but is done by our video documentation strand of the project. They are building in an opensim.

OK, as I bookmark this, I find that I have to correct the previous comment, it doesn't look like I can move items from sL inventory to open sim inventory - but then again, I AM SUCH A NEWBIE-- so if this can be done, I'd love to know how.

With class ending this week, my students want to once more go into Lively to express how they feel about this great service. They love it, although we are moving ahead to explore other options (which we'll announce in January) -- so, they want to have a virtual funeral for Lively which will happen this Thursday. Just check their blog and read this post from the students about what they are planning.

Again, this is a student driven project - they are currently reflecting on this process and will be sharing their thoughts about whether the protest was worth it and what they have learned. Stay tuned, the Digiteen Dream Team is a great student blog that will continue!

Great blog post relating to the current Digiteen Dream Team work and the criticism that has been coming about the project. Lisa Winebrenner is a great encourager and her post means so very much to me. The students will see a copy of this on their Digiteen Wall -- a wall I've created to share the feedback and emails on the work they are doing and to help them plan what they should do next as part of their work.

Digiteen Dream Team is in Cnet.com - the kids are probably getting MORE criticism than support, but if there is criticism, let it be mine. I admire what they are doing and respect their right to speak out on things that matter to them.

Great reflection about what is happening on my student blogs - this is from another teacher who really "gets it" and has paid my students a GREAT compliment. This blog post will be the first thing I share in class on Monday with my ninth graders and I believe will do more to teach the lesson of global audience and passion and meaning than anything else that has ever happened.

Videos where students are asked to see the mistake that someone made with their new friends. This is a pretty interesting video to show and makes a point about age.

It is definitely a shock type video. I wish we could put star ratings on this one because this seems a little over the top to me. I don't know that I would use it. What do you think? I think there should be a better video to discuss the mistakes kids make in chats. What do you think?

Cool summary of an article by Liz B. Davis -- Liz took the article and extracted the most valuable bits to her using google Docs. This methodology is fascinating, but even moreso the fact we may all begin doing this together with Diigo.
