Day 4-the honesty factor
It's a major dilemma and very complicated. Economic factors do come into it with regard to education. Can teachers alone monitor this, or should they just take the moral leadership role? If we could impress upon students that their actions hurt the creators and inhibit making new games, music, etc. that would probably be helpful. The difficulty is that we don't always know what is legal. Certainly we've gained a new awareness.

Smartboard Dreaming- Day 2
It seems like the Smartboard is something every classroom needs. It's lots of fun and engages the students' muscle memory, a good thing. We recognize that technology is neither good nor bad, it's how you use it. Avoid tripping and you're fine. We also like the idea of self-help.
