He cannot post the official notes that day so those who subscribe to his
teacher’s math blog via an RSS feed can read what’s going on in his class. His

blocked the cool containers Dan uses at home from “contaminating” any rigorous
academic content. It is an irony that in too many schools, educators label these
effective learning tools as hindrances to teaching

We also have an opportunity to teach the ethics and the social responsibility that accompany the use of such powerful tools. For example, many students do not realize that once something is on the Internet it has the potential to follow them for the rest of their lives.
