Gee.  We already accessed the website and information for another assignment in this class.

Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District. That program was based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and others.

One of the most important things for our students to understand is that the internet is not a free for all for information.  They have to give credit where credit is due.  They have to understand the concept of plagiarism and its consequences.  It is important that we continue to pound this information into their heads at every grade level.  We need to be able to provide them resources to help them, especially when assigned papers or projects where we want them to give us a resource list.  It is practical information that they will use throughout their entire school life.
