 * Fair Use/Copyright - I'm not that concerned about fair use or copyright at my level because it is all for educational purposes, and not for a widespread audience, but perhaps I should be. Especially, since I want to publish student work on my website.
 * Ideas - use creativecommons.org
 * Privacy - I am definitely concerned about privacy and I know my administrator is VERY concerned about privacy. I have never posted photos on my blog for this reason, but have wanted to. I know that some teachers post photos with the blessings of the parent through a permission slip. I also know that some teachers post photos through a smugmug account so that only those who have passwords can access the photos, but this costs money. I definitely want to post student work, but I'm thinking I will only publish them under first names instead of first and last.
 * Ideas - ask August for his release form for photos for ideas
 * Logistics and Access - This is a main concern for me. I know that we have blogger blocked, I suspect that we have wikispaces and voicethreads and googlesites blocked. I think we have access to googledocs, though because I can access my gmail account at school. I have tried repeatedly to get just my blog unblocked, and my administrator granted permission for it, but it still has blocks on it.
 * Question: How can I convince my administrator to unblock blogs? wikispaces? voicethreads?
 * Etiquette and Guidelines - I love what common sense media offers int he way of curriculum to help me teach etiquette.
