Digital Portfolios: I love the idea of having digital portfolios for students. Too many students have a hard enough time keeping track of the paper given to them ten minutes ago, let alone over the course of a class. In my future classroom I'd like to experiment with a digital portfolio; furthermore, it'd be interesting to see whether overall performance scores go up since the students will literally have access to all previous works.
http://nelovesps.org/: I really liked the whole vibe of this website. It is so important to capture and stress the importance of students' digital artifacts. This website does such a good job capturing the successes of Nebraskan Public Schools; I would be vary proud to say I taught there based on what I saw on this site.
Facebook: Honestly, I can see how great using social networking sites in the classroom could be. However, there are so many negative aspects that I'm not sure that it would be worth using; the shear work monitoring it would be a big enough drawback to sway me. Moreover, the teacher would have to worry about privacy issues and such... If there was a "Using Facebook in the Classroom for Dummies" I might reconsider (There are so many of those books that there might actually be).
