There is nothing more powerful than information. It is what makes the world go around.

Sometimes I have conversations with myself. As both a parent and a teacher my role in these two positions can sometimes struggle to coexist. My questions for you this week: On what things in education do you feel conflicted? What movies do you use in the classroom and why?

KUTZTOWN, Pennsylvania - They're being called the Kutztown 13 - a group of high schoolers charged with felonies for bypassing security with school-issued laptops, downloading forbidden internet goodies and using monitoring software to spy on district administrators. You must think of your building's digital information in the same manner that you consider the overall building security and tests being locked in the school safe. One analogy is: To know what 'digital doors' information is behind and who has the 'digital keys' to those doors.

Many educators just use the favorites menu on their computer either at work or home. But what about when we're at home and need to get to a site we saved at school? This is where social bookmarking comes in! Bookmarking favorite links on the internet is something that can make life easier for us as educators - it means that it's easy to find a really neat site later when looking for it. Putting SOCIAL in Bookmarking The social part of social bookmarking works like this: you can share your links that you've saved through a service like Diigo with anyone else who uses Diigo. You can also use Diigo to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark - this can be extremely useful for a team of teachers who like to share teaching resources. You can even search Diigo to find the many bookmarks that others have saved - it helps sort out the good sites, which is hard to do on most search engines. If a lot of other teachers have saved a link, you know it's at least popular. This article also addresses "What is tagging?" and "How do I use tags?"

Please help us let teachers know about this great opportunity: http://Facebook.com/TeacherCEUs

This was a difficult newsletter to write this week because I am torn. This week there was one item in the news that created a "Wow, that is so cool." and an "Oh my gosh, that is so scary." moment for me. So, my questions for you this week are: 1. How do you feel about a computer winning against humans in an intellectual game like Jeopardy? 2. What do you think this technology will mean for teaching and learning during your lifetime?
