If you have nothing else to do in the summer! If you expect students to work over the summer then this is a good way to keep up with things the starting the year will be more seamless.

Interesting article... the beginning starts off with what the new rules are and then some reactons. the last line is interesting...."Persuading teenagers to behave better is difficult when adults so often act abusively online, she added, especially during election season."

This was interesting but I would want to see examples where the smartphone did something the student laptops could not do.

I thought that schools might want to incorporate the free resources at the bottom of this page into their internet safety lessons. Things are broken down by age which I thought was very helpful.

Even though the author feels that educators should use the same tools the kids are using, he suggests that schools come up with their own social network. There are links here that are interesting.

SInce we are in SOL testing right now, I thought this would be a good site to share with math and science teachers. The "more options" is great because students can concentrate on their weakest strands.
