The "access divide" is marked by the blocking of access to the very heart of what resources are available on the Internet, including YouTube, blogs, new media and anywhere a student might actually read a comment

10 ways to use Evernote at school: http://bit.ly/gkwJdv (part of our new education series)

Very cool, Steve. I joined Evernote a couple years ago and downloaded the app for my iPhone. Although I was aware of all of its capabilities, I never remembered to use it when I had something to catalog. I still get updates from Evernote and I'm interested in trying it out again. Thanks for the push!

Ironically, Unions urge you not to have students, present or otherwise, or their parents as well as facebook "friends." If you use etiquette in what you post, I don't see the problem. I see positives in the respect that knowing I am lurking around makes them aware of what they post.

ham-fisted approach to digital safety

Students cannot ignore issues of connectivity surrounding the internet. "For most children, the key to success will continue to be sharp critical skills, strong connections, effective communication and the nerve to be creative and entrepreneurial. The difference is that we are living at a time in which all of those skills are defined by one's proficiency in connected media. Furthermore, for students facing poverty, violence and disability, online learning networks can provide empowering educational experiences that transcend the circumstances of the classroom. Ultimately, the school that ignores the connection will be the school that we will identify as a failing institution. It is therefore even crueler that policymakers obsessed with standardized test results - like Ms. Rhee and her many disciples - ignore what the connection represents."
