 * // Pancake Principle—The first one is never really good, but from there on out—they are delicious! //**

Technology needs to be like oxygen, ubiquitous, necessary, & invisible. --Chris Lehman

Diigo--great social networking for educators better than delicious because you can highlight & post stickies on webpages. Also can create groups. [|www.diigo.com]

RSS--igoogle accounts, Google Reader, great for semester long classes & for students to keep up to date on the RSS feeds from their teachers' blogs & pages.

Discussions--in the beginning they need to be monitored as students learn acceptable use.

[|Setting Up Before You Start 1:1 (handout of things to think about)]
 * Communicate where assignments are located.
 * What does "due" mean? Before class, by the end of the day, at a certain time.
 * What do kids do with the laptops when they are supposed to be doing something else?
 * Hands up?
 * Screens down?
 * Inattentiveness. What do you do about it? What happens when they are on Facebook when they are not supposed to be? What the policies of different assignments? i.e. When using Jamestown, kids shouldn't be listening to music.

[|Pet Peeves of 1:1 Teachers]

Why use Wiki when you are using NIng?
 * When students are creating shared content (like background information for a text), it won't get lost in the disucssion forums.
 * In Ning, create a tab in tab management so that students can click on it to the wiki, but remain in the format of the Ning.

Ning Create Nings for character studies. Students create bio pages for the person or character assigned & have to respond/blog as that person.
