Thing 10

I edited the 23 things on a stick wiki. I made the short enter with the Happy Easter statement. I think many of these Web 2.0 features should be used with schools. It got me to thinking with a friend of mine who was a teacher, but recently was hired by the school she was working at as their IT person. She has mentioned to many staff there about using a blog or something to communicate about event planning, for example school dances, prom, etc. It provides another alternative to collaborating, especially when one is unable to attend.

As for schools baning Wikipedia as a source. I guess it makes since. However, shouldn't teachers be teaching their students to be selective in their research. Anyone can create a website and post whatever content they want, true or false. It is knowing what to look for and judging the source that makes effective researchers.
