      This is such a great point, we have these strict safety guidelines in the schools, yet some students may be sharing every detail about their life on Facebook, Twitter or another social media. 
  • But the outcry against intrusions on privacy takes place against a backdrop where it's normal to share a steady stream of details about your life. My concern is that, if we make our schools into places where "normal" means having your browsing history tracked daily, people will take that level of supervision for granted.
  • try to make some sense about what learning can be within a context where there is a growing tension between constructive guidance and overbearing observation

NEW E*TRADE Baby -- Time Out - YouTube - 0 views

    So this isn't super educational, however it emphasizes the use of technology with children from an early age. We've seen lots of youtube videos of 15 month old babies using iPads and iPhones (my nephew included!) - yet here it is reinforced on a TV commercial.

This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.
