Thinking about the Digital Youth Project

I have the pdf open and I'm wading through it and thinking about the presentation on my experience in using web2.0 technologies in the classroom. It's really interesting, and I am totally getting my geek on just thinking about all the cool stuff. I am just getting resources together right now - and am about to investigate a site that says it records your bibliography online so you don't have to do it the hard way. Sounds great to me.

I also have a classroom full of emo kids, supposedly studying for their exams, but actually just hanging out and laughing and playing. They just patiently answered my questions about what turns them on and off about web2.0 in the classroom, though, so the investment of my money in chocolate was well worth it.

So, here I am, reading about web2.0, blogging, listening to My Chemical Romance on iTunes, with students hanging out and texting and taking photos of each other in the background. Life is good today.
