Edutopia - George Lucas Educational Foundation
I recently discovered another great Website for educators called Edutopia--- maybe I'm one of the few educators unaware of this site. A person could spend hours perusing the many videos depicting real life classroom learning, stories about innovative schools and learning labs, and lesson plans with an emphasis on technology. Go take the online poll asking: Should teachers teach students netiquette? (meaning should educators take the time to teach students online mannners). What is your opinion?

Bonnie, I checked out the Technology Integration link on the web page. Neat! Yes, I could spend hours if I had hours to spend!
Hi Bonnie. My name is Kelli and I'm in Dr. Baylen's Instructional Technology class (6401) and I'll be responding to your blog for the next month! I got a chance to look at the Edutopia website and I thought it was great. I'm studying to be a school counselor so I thought the section titled "Social and Emotional Learning" is really helpful. There was an article written about cyberbullying in adolescents. With all of this new integration of technology into the classroom, it's important to make sure these students are safe outside of school as well. In response to the idea of Netiquette, I think it should be enforced. Kids and even adults are now being to write how they send text and instant messages. That and also emails are sometimes confusing to read because there is no tone or face to look at.
Bonnie, I glanced at edutopia a while back, but now I want to take a long look at it. I'd like to add it to a blog for the teachers at my school - a blog just for web sites and other info that might help with web 2.0 teaching ( right now blogs are blocked, so they'd have to view it at home.) Thanks, RobertW
