Classroom2.0 Newsworthy Notes

Today I explored Classroom2.0 and found Global Science Experiment (http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topic/show?id=649749%3ATopic%3A146211). This site provides an idea were teachers and students share science experiments. This is a great idea, but I think that other ideas are better, such as Bering Straits Open Content Initiative wiki (http://wiki.bssd.org/index.php/Science) on performance-based science standards. This is the best idea I have seen yet of using a wiki for education. If you click on a standard you get readings and experiments that are tried to the standard. Another Classroom2.0 member had a post on RSS Feeds for Students (http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topic/show?id=649749%3ATopic%3A80379). This is a great idea for reading in the content area, but I think district security blockers may prevent you from using blogs. Students cannot view blogs in the Kenai Peninsula School District. However, we do have an in-house blog running that the district is trying out.
