I think [Alan’s survey](/835) is a good example of how not to be ’schooly’. Students should ask questions of each other and interact.

Eric at JM, SLC, UT
To [Parker M](/394): Thank you for your prompt response. I also find the concrete policies of Hilary Clinton as encouraging as Obama’s. The critical factor that swung my vote to the Obama campaign is the despondent fact that Hilary CLINTON is a superb unifier of the republican base. Unfortunately, that seven letter word that follows her name will stop her from taking office. This “notorious” name recognition does not tail Obama. What America doesn’t need the closed-mindedness of another conservative for four more years. As to your question, I am personally not opposed to any forms of civil unions. Whether being gay is a conscience choice, or not, holds very little weight in my opinion. However, that said, I am firmly opposed to inter-species unions. These “partnerships” are morally outraging and the physical nature of it is quite puzzling. Thanks again for your response.

Waffles… how much I yearn for one at the moment. This entire week I have been dreaming about a date with my amazing waffle. On this date, he will be wearing his best whipped cream outfit and a little bit of ice cream. I wonder if he will also be wearing some syrup. My outfit? I will be wearing a pretty bib (can’t look bad for my waffle) and I’ll carry a shiny knife and fork to prepare. The only question left is… when will this date be? I have been stalling, continuously pushing off this date. Maybe this weekend I will finally meet my dream waffle.

Lee Kolbert asked:
How is this school based? Just curious? does anyone moderate this?
» “How is this school based? Just curious? … Youth Twitter”
Several teachers — all of us in schools, making this school-based — are moderating it, and we are inviting other teachers who register to be administrators and help to moderate as well. Thanks for the question!

I looked at a web site about Darfur. I read this sentence:
“This is a collaborative effort involving k-12 students from around the globe to raise awareness about the genocide in Darfur.”
Here are some of my questions:
Where is Darfur? Is it close to here? I’ve never heard of it.
What’s a genocide?

Scott Meech asked: What makes Youth Twitter secure? What makes it safe? How can you call it for youth if anyone can join? The answers are US — the teachers who are also administrators of this site. We will be vigilant in monitoring the site, especially our own students. As administrators we have the power we need to edit or even delete posts and comments. We can also delete users, and will if they are not youths or teachers of youths. It’s an experiment, but I think it might work.

I’m wondering how we can send messages to individuals, similar to the @username function in Twitter. What if you add a person’s name as a tag? What do you think Susan and Chris?

Youth Twitter came up fast, so I’m figuring it out like everybody else. My students need to create an avatar/icon this week. And getting started with freewriting and Google Docs is important. So the question of how to use tumblr can wait, I think. On the other hand, I think Youth Twitter can start really fast, and be immediately interesting to many students. And IT’S EASY! The bar of entry has just been lowered about as low as it can go. The trick will be to get students who are using Youth Twitter to care about more academic blogging in Youth Voices and the Personal Learning Space. Of course, this is a good, real-world problem it seems to me.

Susan Ettenheim at ERHS, NYC
Looking forward to bringing students in this week. Now I’m wondering will this appear in my twitter too or is this completely different? humm looking forward to teaching them to back-channel - very big class and there will be many questions. Get up and walk around the room to share ideas isn’t going to work at all!
I imagine tagging with the subject, for instance audacity or flash and being able to get an overview of problems and solutions in a project.
