 * At this time, no students can use Wikis or Google Docs
 * Student and Staff Privacy policies- essentially we cannot use online tools that store data, pictures, names, or student work on outside servers
 * What are the permissions you can set for students and/or staff?
 * If you're unsure about usage, ASK a tech initiator or administrator
 * Ignorance is bliss, nor is it an option here.
 * This is one example where it is NOT better to beg forgiveness instead of asking permission

Adapt A Lesson
===21st Century learners want information presented in a manner that invites them into the learning. They also want to demonstrate & share what they have learned in a manner that is unique, individually expressive and in-tune with the tools they are currently using.===

Consider the following diagram:
 * //Change-up the Presentation of the Lesson - intro the lesson with snippets from web sites, articles, picture, slideshows. ([|Animoto] Slideshow example.)//
 * //Then release students to find the facts/do more research guided by the teacher.//
 * //Students then choose a way to show what they have learned using new tools: podcasts, a photo story, video, etc//

Some sources for ideas/lessons/plans, etc.
