Chris Dede, Harvard.

Chris Dede, Harvard.Edtags.org is a website for educators (e.g., teachers, education graduate students, professors, librarians, etc.) to connect with people sharing similar interests, discover relevant materials that may have "eluded" the traditional card catalogue search, and store and categorize your favorite bookmarks. We encourage you to upload, store, categorize and share your own course papers, pre-print materials, pictures and the like. When you label a bookmark "private" only you can see it; however, sharing is what this site is all about.

Screenjelly records your screen activity with your voice so you can spread it as a video via Twitter or email. Use it to quickly share cool apps or software tips, report a bug, or just show stuff you like.

For too long librarians have been seen as "copyright cops," impeding the use of copyrighted materials by students and staff. This presentation suggests we redefine our roles, helping those we serve take maximum advantage of fair use provisions, finding authorities with a "user-centric" view of copyright enforcement, and teaching others to consider not just the legal, but moral side of intellectual property acquisition, use and re-use.

Parent education on what digital citizenship means.
