Several states have taken the NETS standards one to several steps further in identifying what K-12 education must achieve in terms of facilitating student proficiency in the defined skills. These efforts have, in some cases, led to standards being issued by each state for its own students to meet, including:

The Internet is a useful and important part of our daily lives. Many can't
remember how we handled even the most mundane tasks without online
assistance. How did we even survive when we were kids? :-) However, along
with the good, there is bad. Children and teens (but not their parents!) are
very well versed in using the Internet, including web pages, blogs,
uploading and downloading information, music and photos, etc. They are also
trusting. This presentation will give an overview of the Internet and the
inherent dangers. Learn the realities and dangers of ``virtual communities''
websites your kids frequent like Xanga.com, MySpace.com and FaceBook.com.
Learn about the persistence of information on the net and Google hacking.
Learn the differences between a wiki, blog, Instant Messaging, text
messaging, and chat. Learn the Internet slang, key warning signs, and tips
for Parents and Kids. This talk is for anyone who has a child, who knows a
child, or who ever was a child!
Net neutrality is an important issue being addressed by the US government right now to prevent companies from sort of creating their own version of the InterNet. These rules are supposed to keep things "open." I'm also sending these to my digiteen students (you can follow digiteen at http://www.twitter.com/digiteen) and Flat Classroom students (http://www.twitter.com/flatclassroom) for work on their project.
For anyone who has ever wondered how and why the Internet was created comes this extensive essay, "The Roads and Crossroads of Internet's History." With this document, users can follow the development of the net from its early stages as a military communication system to the multimedia extravaganza we know today.

IF you tweet or share a to a lot of apps, this app, Drafts will connect to just about anything. Type it, then decide where to send it, or you can save your most inspirational items to tweet, Facebook, or wherever later. It links with evernote, twitter, facebook, app.net, email, messages, calendars, dropbox, evernote, bufferapp, toodledoo and more (as well as ifttt.com integration.) I'm still learning about all the ways to use this handy tool. The only thing I wish it did is that I could add to it from the web and then see it on my ipad.
Simple instructions that history teachers will love for setting up a QR code scavenger hunt. My favorite app is i-Nigma for scanning qr codes -it just works.
" A QR-Code Treasure Hunt is a fun, simple way to get students using their mobile devices to continue learning outside of lesson time. Here's how we set one up at the International School of Toulouse with some guidance on how to do the same with your own students using the QR Treasure Hunt Generator at ClassTools.net."
If you're planning May and want to see the holidays and events along with lesson plans, you'll want to check out this list. Lots of events including a net one we should bring to the US called "Friendship Funday".
