  Out of everything on his website, I feel that the most practical subject was over the bill of rights for technology. A lot of schools at least have some technology and it is important for students to be able to use technology to its fullest extent (including Wikipedia). On the other side of the fence, I believe a lot of the things that Brad Flickinger talks about are extremely difficult to get ahold of in the majority of schools. Last, but not least, is the controversy of social networks in the schools. Using sites like Facebook and Twitter as announcement pages would be extremely nice for advertising events and information, but for homework or class application, I believe that a student's social life can be really distracting at times and can hurt productivity when they get on to do homework. I really do like his website, but not a whole lot is all that accessible at this time in a lot of schools.
