Our Courts is a web-based education project designed to teach students civics and inspire them to be active participants in our democracy. Our Courts is the vision of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is concerned that students are not getting the information and tools they need for civic participation, and that civics teachers need better materials and support.

Education Week: Smart Thinking About Educational Technology - 0 views

Too many advocates rely on weak arguments, such as “students are digital natives, so we should use more technology,” as if schools should have used radio and TV more often when earlier generations grew up with those media.
- Anna Adam on 08 Apr 08
  
  I have a problem with the analogy that schools in the past should have used more radio and TV comparing to now with technology. That's apples and oranges. Or at least tangarines and oranges. The majority of jobs today require the use of technology. Even cashiers at Walmart! Not so for radios and TV in the past. We're not using technology because our kids are growing up with that media. We're using technology because our kids are growing up REQUIRING that media.

Awesome blog that highlights one or two Web 2.0 gems with each post. Very clean blog with info on the site/application, tips and most importantly, ways to implement that site/application into your curriculum.

I could see teachers using forms for data collection with schools across the globe and then exporting the data to graph. Super easy!

Okay, I've never done the "share" bit with a bookmark in Diigo. This is kind of a test, but it IS a neat site.
