    This is sand. Yes it is. To use this site, you touch on the SMART Board and sand will Thisissand_examplebegin pouring from where you are touching. You can change colors of the sand and you can drop the sand from anywhere on the screen. Click on the small box in the upper-left corner of the screen for instructions. One of the neatest things to do on this site is look at the gallery of images other people have created. Some of them are simply amazing.

Facebook Off Limits in Wisconsin District : March 2009 : THE Journal - 0 views

  • The technology steering committee for the district will use the new policy to educate teachers about the risks in using Facebook, specifically. Among the concerns: the potential for disclosure of too much personal information, as well as the inability to control who can view postings, since "friends" of friends can read Facebook pages; and teacher exposure to student posts that may reference the use of drugs or participation in illegal events, which the teacher must then report.

      This looks to me like the district just wants to stick its head in the sand and not take responsibility for problems the students may have. Wouldn't the district want teachers to see what problems students may have so they can provide the proper assistance? Also, how are teachers supposed to educate students about the possible problems they could encounter with putting personal information on the web?
