[|Never Stop Learning] Never stop learning, never stop growing, Never stop seeking the brightest star, Never stop moving from where you are. Never stop trying, never stop reaching, Never stop doing what you can do, Never stop growing your whole life through. Children aren't the only ones who should learn and grow, All of us have so much to learn, There's so much that we could know. What we learn is up to us, What we seek we find. Never doubt what you have inside, all you need is in your mind. Never stop learning, Never stop growing, Keep yourself growing your whole life through.

Consider joining the wiki and adding your own favorite websites or create your own wiki for your class/parents. http://k-5websites.wetpaint.com/ Wonderful 4th grade wiki by Mrs. Griffin, The Griffin Gazette, with a clever blabberize.com talking photo on the home page.

They can even be exported to an Archival Movie for offline use on a DVD or video-enabled MP3 player. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world.

There is the **Wikipedia for Schools site** (and DVD) that has articles culled from Wikipedia just for kids: http://schools-wikipedia.org/ http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/charity-news/wikipedia-for-schools.htm Another very interesting, newly developing site is Wikiversity: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page [|Wikiversity] is a [|Wikimedia Foundation] project devoted to [|learning resources], [|learning projects], and [|research] for use in all [|levels], types, and styles of education from pre-school to university, including professional training and informal learning.
 * Several sites just as FYI:**

http://www.elfster.com/ You can create your own groups and your own terms. I'm participating in two different exchanges. One is a gift exchange that is $15.00 or less and all gifts are exchanged on the same day. Another is totally free and we are exchanging online holiday greetings with our secret pal. I created an Animoto greeting with photos and music for my secret pal. http://animoto.com/play/U0qaogCqv0UbvDgd7Y0ciQ/greetings/holidays2008 The other "elf" site mentioned today that a number of people had used is also really fun! It's called Elf Yourself and you can add personal photos to elf bodies and watch them dance in your greeting to share with other people. Lots of fun if you haven't tried it. http://www.elfyourself.com/ media type="google" key="-2316086080322791157&hl=en&fs=true" height="226" width="200"

http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2008/11/12/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-for-media-literacy-education/
 * AUPs, copyright and fair use** are always a challenge especially with so many web 2.0 tools available on the internet. This blog post has some fantastic links, resources and information based on the very current best practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education (released Nov. 12, 2008) that you may find helpful in your roles as technology leaders. The entire document is available as a free PDF download on the following blog post by Wes Fryer.

Lesson Plans for Teaching about Copyright and Fair Use for Media Literacy Education are available on the “Unlocking Copyright Confusion” wiki. http://copyrightconfusion.wikispaces.com/Presenting These are divided into five main categories: 1. Section 1. Understanding Copyright 2. Section 2. The Cost of Copyright Confusion 3. Section 3. Defining and Applying Fair Use 4. Section 4. The Five Principles 5. Section 5. Advocacy

“Videos Illustrating Case Studies Showing Teachers Using Copyrighted Materials According To The Code Of Best Practices For Fair Use In Media Literacy Education” are available for elementary, high school, and college settings. http://www.mediaeducationlab.com/index.php?page=287 In addition to outlining principles for educators and students to utilize in making fair use determinations for media use, this Code of Best Practices also addresses multiple myths which are common in our schools when it comes to copyright and intellectual property issues. These include: 1. Fair Use Is Too Unclear And Complicated For Me; It’s Better Left To Lawyers And Administrators. 2. Educators Can Rely On “Rules Of Thumb” For Fair Use Guidance. 3. School System Rules Are The Last Word Of Fair Use By Educators. 4. Fair Use Is Just For Critiques, Commentaries, Or Parodies. 5. If I’m Not Making Any Money Off It, It’s Fair Use. (And If I Am Making Money Off It, It’s Not.) 6. Fair Use Is Only A Defense, Not A Right. 7. Employing Fair Use Is Too Much Trouble; I Don’t Want To Fill Out Any Forms. 8. Fair Use Could Get Me Sued.
