I agree with you about the goals - both inspiring and depressing all rolled into one. I guess it's about the little things and achieving them bit by bit. The big ones are a bit too overwhelming for me. :-) I can speak from personal experience — this girl is the BEST cheerleader!

Great idea to embed the conference right into your blog! I also like that you tied the post back to our first task to remind us to keep it light.

You sound like me a few years ago! But actually, it's the kids that are sharing-you are just guiding the ship. :) “I have never really shared content on the web probably because I didn’t think I had anything worth sharing.” You sound like me a few years ago!

I think you are on the right track with viewing it as a "life lesson." It's a global ethic -- there are so many ways to "plagiarize" or steal others' work -- and the digital world just proliferates them... it gets grayer, too, as these new tools, and creative commons, invite collaboration -- but they always stress proper attribution. I hope we are teaching these concepts well before seventh grade... I think one of the most powerful ways to drive it home is to get students thinking about how they'd feel if someone stole their work. Maybe valuing intellectual property begins with valuing your own.

Figuring out how to use the blog in a meaningful way seems like the most difficult concept for me to grasp. How do you use this great tool so that it doesn't become just 'something else to do?'
