"Teachers and Facebook: Please, Miss, Can I Friend You On Facebook? Good use of social networking and other social media in schools doesn't change that much with the changes in tools and platforms, but it's still useful to have a reminder of what works, and what doesn't."

Some good links as well

All your updates on the first netrevolution in one place.

"In Shidonni, kids get their own online "pen and paper" to sketch animals. The moment they do, their creations come to life 'virtually'. Kids can then create worlds for their animals, feed them, play with them and share them with their friends. "

Awesome! Letting kids explore writing by kids/for kids online as part of the silent reading time (have 4 netbooks? then cycle the kids through each week) Anyone trying?

"Shidonni is a site where students can draw their favorite animal with a world to live in it and see the animal spring to life. Kids take care of their animals by feeding, petting or sending them to sleep. The animal eats the food that kids have drawn for it. They can choose if they want their pet to walk or fly, and they can name it. Kids can draw a background and change it whenever they want. They can play games with their virtual animals or send them to their friends to play with their animals. You can watch this introduction video. This site is great for kindergarten students but I'm sure primary kids will love and enjoy this site too!! This can be a great tool for digital storytelling or describing animals or daily routines."

will try this and let you know.

"This would be a great activity to have students compose their own songs for fun or to tie in with another classroom assignment. In my classroom it became a teachable moment with a spur of the moment rock-on contest to see who could make the best song. The My Doodle Songs has a list of many of the top songs that were created with the Les Paul Doodle. "

Like the guitar!
