I think many parents don't know where to begin and a resource like this would be a very welcome start. I came across a great page that can contribute to this effort. You may already know about it, but <a href="http://internet101.ca/index_e.htm" rel="nofollow">Internet 101</a> is a good gateway for internet safety awareness. Looking forward to the safety page!

I look forward to the next step which is I guess to begin designing questions for a survey of sorts if I read the summary right?

I can see that it is important to have a plan in place that keeps up with the pace because it is moving at a magnificent clip. I hope that we will find ways for us to utilize the beautiful lab consistenly at Morse; some of these second graders really know a lot. On the otherhand, there are a slew who are just getting familiar. Having them become familiar and comfortable around the computer is key and it can only get better from there.

It is exciting to watch districts that have already embraced the Web 2.0. I want to follow Maybry more closely, perhaps RSS some of the more active Teacher bloggers there. I liked Warlick’s point that we should revisit the Acceptable Use Policy to reflect the read/write web. This is a natural step but one I didn’t think about. You had mentioned that First Class has a RSS reader.  This might be a good way to introduce staff to RSS and the practice of following web content. Hi John,
