You're so right. That's such a nice way of looking at the "challenge." Jennifer, thanx for the link, I'll send it out to my teachers!<br />

I am not sure about what danger there would be. Why does a site require knowing a student email? Is it just for the account? They don't post it anywhere, right? I think if it is a school owned email, then you can go ahead and use it. My students don't have school sponsored emails. I only let them use their personal emails to sign up for things when they choose to at home.

I think if it is a school owned email, then you can go ahead and use it. My students don't have school sponsored emails. I only let them use their personal emails to sign up for things when they choose to at home. When I created my wiki, I was able to assign each of them account names that would stay anonymous to outsiders. I keep a class account so we can follow NASA or Congress on twitter, but only I have the password. I make a username that refers a bit to my school and use my work email on the account. I also keep anonymity going by having class kid code names for when we blog. They know who everyone is, but anyone else peeking in wouldn't know who said what. They love having a new screen name. Hope this helps. Without knowing which Web 2.0 site you are concerned about, it is hard to suggest/share more. :) Remind yourself that the bric…tag:www.classroom20.com,2010-01-12:649749:Comment:4262202010-01-12T03:58:12.240ZJaninehttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/Janine631
Remind yourself that the brick wall is more like the magical one that leads to Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter series. Once you unlock the code, all kinds of wonderful things are on the other side! I hit that same wall quite often myself. I think about what important exposure/experience is there for my students, and that gives me the wherewith all to keep going and find a way.

I teach English/Literature to Juniors and Seniors. My classes have a serious focus on MLA documentation for research projects. I have found the most accurate (for information & formatting) site to be <a href="http://www.noodletools.com/" target="_blank">NoodleTools</a>. The other tools associated with this service are wonderful from the teacher's point-of-view.

Like I mentioned above, Jeff, I'd like to address your concern over BibMe, but I can't do that unless I know what specific problems you had. Please let me know what these are and I will take care of them. Thanks.

I like to "follow the money" and look to who owns the website and developed it in the first place. In the case of bibme, it appears to have been developed at Carnegie-Mellon as a student project. The privacy policy is the next place to check (<a href="http://www.bibme.org/bibliography/privacy_policy" target="_blank">http://www.bibme.org/bibliography/privacy_policy</a>) and Bibme's policy is the most straightforward one I've seen.

I like to "follow the money" and look to who owns the website and developed it in the first place. In the case of bibme, it appears to have been developed at Carnegie-Mellon as a student project. The privacy policy is the next place to check (<a href="http://www.bibme.org/bibliography/privacy_policy" target="_blank">http://www.bibme.org/bibliography/privacy_policy</a>) and Bibme's policy is the most straightforward one I've seen. The only identifiying info they track is the user's OS, web browser type and version, "IP" address and/or Internet domain access point, name and e-mail address(es).<br />
<br />
So - what are they doing with that info? The OS and browser info is - I am sure - used for engineering purposes. If they find that more people are using Firefox than IE they may focus their efforts on plug-ins with that browser. The IP address is pretty common...heck, even my <a href="http://www.21stcenturyed.com" target="_blank">blog</a> captures that info, but I never do anything with it. I guess I <i>could</i> - if I wanted - use that information to track down exactly who it is that is looking at my blog. But I would need some serious legal documents to squeeze that info out of the Internet provider. Something like a blog post threatening harm to self or others.<br />
<br />
The name and the email address really are the biggest problems in this case. No one ever said kids have to enter their real names - or full names. We commonly ask students to juse their first name and last initial in email communications to help preserve their identity - the teachers know who they are.<br />
<br />
The email piece is a little dicey. I suggest that less time be spent by your admin on hand-wringing and more time spent in educating students on the safe use of the technology.

Jeff, this is Kevin, one of the developers from the BibMe team. I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with BibMe before. Could you be more specific about what citations were done incorrectly? The accuracy of the citations that our service generates is something we take very seriously, and we want to make sure there are no bugs that are off our radar. Thanks.<br />

A heads up on Zotero and the newest edition of Firefox. It isn't compatible yet. I had Zotero a while back and when I moved up to the new html5 compliant FF, I got a warning about extensions that were not compatible. I just checked on my add-on tool in my FF and it still shows it as incompatible. If you find out I am wrong, let me know because I would like it back. :0)

I just ran across <a href="http://www.zotero.org/" target="_blank">http://www.zotero.org/</a> which is an extension based program for firefox. It allows for you to cite sources in almost any way imaginable. Very cool tool from the little i looked at it.
