What’s the Relevance to Education? • The Pew Internet Report cites the fact that half of all teens and 57% of teens who use the internet consider themselves “content creators.” • 19% have created a blog while 38% say they read blogs. 22% created webpages, and 33% shared original art or photos online.
Web 2.0? School 2.0? It is our job as educational leaders to keep an eye on developments which will impact the way we teach and the way students learn and communicate.

0 Concerns about safety have resulted in legislation • DOPA - Deleting Online Predators Act • COPA – Children’s Online Protection Act • COPPA - Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act • CIPA – Children’s Internet Protection Act
0 Are students concerned about DOPA and other Internet Censorship It doesn’t really impact them very well, because their school life simply isn’t real enough. They are fully satisfied with their online social experience and what they are learning there. They would fight if they perceived that there was something to lose. I suspect that there is a pretty wide disconnect between the classrooms of many our students and the real learning environment that they interact with in their personal time. David Warlick – 9-16-06
