Teacher-Librarian

another back to school issue.  As Anne Davis writes in her blog we are all faced with continued WWW security (and of course legislation) to block use of social networks such as flickr, furl, MySpace, blogs etc from our schools.

It is good practice to write justifications for our use of such networks as tools for learning and increasing student achievement.  How do we do it safely? How do we know it works?  How do we collect data?  I will have to incorporate answers to these questions into my teacher handouts… and share with admin.  No telling what new sites will be blocked this year.
