My friend, Nancy Willard (Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use), shares, via the ever present WWWEDU, a new report from American Psychologist, a journal of the American Psychological Association. The report, Online ‘Predators’ and Their Victims: Myths, Realities and Implications for Prevention, is based on a study involving three surveys conducted in 2000 and […]
It has been a very long day of preparing a Digital Citizenship conference in Missouri on Friday, and trying to get caught up on stuff. I just got to e-mail only an hour ago. One of the most interesting aspects of the day was posing a question on Twitter about digital natives, digital […]
Old Books by Sandeep 22/8/05
Often, when I’m talking about how our information environment is changing, I describe my experiences with Lulu, a print-on-demand service, through which I have self-published two of my books, Raw Materials for the Mind and Classroom Blogging. I’ve just learned of another application of these services that I find quite intriguing […]
Fantastic conversation going on over at Will Richardson’s blog (Weblogg-ed) about skills that students should be learning to be ready for their future — what ever that looks like. It would be interesting if someone could consolidate all of the comments down to a single document.

In his article, Scott points to an Education Week piece that describes the project and how high school teachers and students are beginning to use it. Launched in 2001, and […]
For readers outside the U.S., I apologize for this Amero-centric post. I wonder, though, if it is a uniquely American state of affairs, where educators have to be urged, at all levels, to beg for funding. I know that it isn’t. But, never the less, it is very sad.

Ever wonder what teachers do after work?
Last week, a teacher came up to me and asked what she should do to develop the 21st century skills I was talking about. But it’s a hard thing to explain in two minutes off the top of my head — and it’s not the first time we’ve heard […]
You Might Be Too Busy IF… 2/9/08
I think that one of the coolest things about Personal Learning Networks is when they blossom into something interesting, useful, or funny.
