Classroom 2.0

I looked on the ning website and found Classroom 2.0. This website is filled with information. It has links to different sites to check out. There is a forum where people can post comments/questions and receive feedback for other members. I happened to come across one post by Dr Burgos herself. I hope that you get the help you were looking for. I am not of any assistance sorry. This particular site is very active and I can tell that it has a large and dedicated following.

what role should teacher's play in ploving NET? from another blogger

Andy Carvin recently blogged about an incident on twitter involving a bipolar woman tweeting about possibly hurting her toddler. A woman read the tweet and became concerned. When she was unable to reach the lady directly, she contacted Twitter about the incident. Twitter then contacted the authorities. Andy uses this rare occurrence to discuss teacher's role in policing the NET. This made me think of an excellent activity to use with the kids in my classroom when talking about proper behavior on the Internet. The lady contends that the dangerous tweet was really just a joke about her toddler refusing to stop crying and go to sleep. However, she did post a harmful message which lead people essentially "taking sides" of the mom who tweeted and the lady who called Twitter. I believe that you could use this incident as a way to show your students how a "joke" can spin out of hand rather quickly.
