Tools are morally neutral. We need to train students to use them correctly or they will use them without us. They may use them inappropriately. Tools: scissors Dangerous Hands: people hurt people

The engaged teacher is the underpinning of the effective Web 2.0 classroom This teacher is responsible for web safety and privacy, Information literacy, digital citizenship, web teamwork, intentional, web activities, accountability

Teachers who regularly use Web 2.0 tools themselves will be able to apply these tools in the classroom in more thoughtful, effective ways.

To establish discipline: check often on the posts/tools at the beginning of a project. This will head off problems and set the tone.

Netvibes: for students to use for RSS Have students set this up so that they are researching a project and subscribe to feeds for information on that topic. This helps them become the expert.

[|Hitchhikr] In changing times, we need to raise our heads out of the water every once in a while, take a drink of kool-aid, network, learn, and energize. Yet, we can't always make it to the conferences we need to attend to mix with the people we need to see -- face-to-face. This is why Hitchhikr was invented, to provide you with a virtual space where, thanks to blogs, podcasts, and RSS, we can connect, share, respond, and grow knowledge out beyond the place and time of the event. Here are some tutorials on how to tap into the emerging technologies that make Hitchhikr possible.
