Great Case Study: Twitter on CSI

Don't know how I missed this making the rounds, but last November, Twitter was on CSI. This excerpt makes a GREAT case study for kids. (Sorry, if you're behind an iron curtain this is only on youtube -- and I don't mean the iron curtain where you might think.) tag: CSI , twitter , ethics , education , teaching , digital citizenship , privacy

Andrew's ethical discussion starter about Innertoob

I have always enjoyed reading Andrew Pass' discussion starters. He has a particularly good discussion starter about the Innertoob post I made yesterday . (If you teach current events, Andrew's blog is a MUST subscribe, in my opinion!) Take a look at Andrew's question #4: Vicki Davis slightly changed Wes Fryer's podcast by adding in new annotations. Who's the creator of the podcast that Vicki placed on Innertoob, Vicki or Wes? Does it matter? Is there a certain point at which the product ceases to be Wes's and becomes Vicki's? These are the issues we must ponder and discuss! tag: education , teaching , opinion , ethics , Andrew Pass , innertoob

Proof that the best of us can be taken: Microsoft Firefox Professional

Following are the comments with some documentation as to the non-authenticity of this site. Thank you, friends for clarifying. I'm sure I'll get some "she's so stupid" posts but I'll leave this up to show how the best of us can be taken. I literally researched this for an hour and looked at many blogs and other sources to find the veracity of this. Needless to say, I didn't spend enough time on the site to find what the commenters here are saying. It bothers me greatly that such spoofs even exist and are allowed to continue. I see now that Google Adsense is on the site. And I would say this -- shame on Google Adsense for paying a site money on a false identity that obviously is out to scam people. The fact that they would pay will make people have more and more clever sites which means this will only get worse. I will have to determine how to verify such sites in a better way, but how. Is there a site that mentions website spoofs? Couldn't Go...
