Good Morning All,

HI Trina,
There are an incredible number of issues I have found that "early adopters" are not
paying effective attention to when they expand the use of technologies -- including
important legal issues. FERPA will apply to any material of students or created by
student online. There are also important copyright issues, free speech issues,
disability access, publishing torts, and the like. I have addressed all of these in
a self-published book entitled Cyber Secure Schools in a Web 2.0 World.
The 3 parts of this book include:
Creating Change in Technology Adoption
Effective Internet Use Management
Web 2.0 in Schools Legal Issues
More information is on my site. BTW, in this book, I make a strong push for school
librarians to play an expanded role as Information Literacy Specialists.
I am a former attorney - and an educational technology enthusiast. What I have
tried to do is to address the possible legal concerns and provide guidance on
addressing those concerns that will also allow for the emergence of 21st Century
learning with interactive technologies. Knowing the mindset of some who are "school
attorneys" I am hoping to get out advance of the potential fear of litigation that
could hold back progress.
