Welcome Karen, Glad you have joined us. Currently Alice, Bob and I take turns, as creators of this site for the K12online conference, to moderate and leave new posts. I am just about to leave a post which will generate some comments. Again, Welcome. I see that Ernie is doing a great job welcoming too. Thanks Ernie.

I've added your blog to my RSS feed. Interesting reading and timely. Thursday I gave an internet safety lesson in class along with our guidance director. We unblocked MySpace for the afternoon and my students were shocked when I started showing their profiles - the ones that were open to anyone. Hopefully they went in that night and changed profiles to be read by friends only. The next lesson --- who are your friends? Many accept anyone who wants to list them as a "friend".
Again, thanks for joining and sharing your blog.

I haven't run in to the match ads, so maybe they were short lived. I do wish they would get rid of the gift thing, I looked through the management options, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Anyone else know how?

Kristin Tarnas I am looking for a way to get my class in a chat room during a lesson and wondering what would be a good and appropriate venue for this.
Clare,
Why on earth would the teachers be asked to stop blogging? Are they asked to stop having conversations? Are they asked to stop writing about things that matter to kids? How are teachers supposed to disregard one of the major communication f...
We had strong interest - and a great start - among our third grade teachers to have their students begin blogging (mainly around literacy) - blogging in the hands of these talented teachers couldn't be more valuable, in my opinion. Then our admini...
Wow... changes. Is this happening on other nings? Where we once had some relatively connected google ads on the side of our ning, we now have match[dot]com ads where Seedlings can explore online dating? I hope this is a short lived anomaly.
