Thing #23

I found another web site that is uncannily similar to this 23 Things. It is called School Library Learning 2.0. It was created by the California School Library Association (CSLA) 2.0 Team to help students learn about the many tools of the new Internet: Web 2.0 that are be offered to students such as social networking, wikis, video, podcasting, and gaming sites. When I saw the list of 23 Things, I was blown away. It is extremely similar to ours with a few differences. The biggest difference that I noticed was that there was no link to Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a must for our students today with the many applications that are available for use. It can direct students to those sites where they can find the information that they need and not worry about copyright violations. One thing for certain is that in my classroom we will spend a least one class period discussing these pitfalls and how Creative Commons can help to avoid stiffling their creativity in the classroom.
