In Cyberspace…Don’t assume anything you send or post is going to remain private.There is no changing your mind in cyberspace—anythingyou send or post will never truly go away.Don’t give in to the pressure to do something that makesyou uncomfortable, even in cyberspace.Consider the recipient’s reaction.Nothing is truly anonymous.
Way Back MachineSocial networks have been used to post content to embarrass or intimidate students, so it is important for learners to understand that the consequences of such actions may last even longer than they expected. Not only may content remain in caches and backups, but it can be copied to third party sites or be captured in archives without your knowledge or permission, such as the Wayback Machine.

Start Pages
What is a Start Page?Personalized Start Pages are websites designed to allow you to customize them however you want. They are often used to replace the home page of the web browser.The goal of a personalized start page is to take multiple tasks that you would ordinarily carry out on different websites and put them all in the same place. The start page can display the news for you, read blogs, check the mail, and let you search the web.
Examples of Start PagesNetvibeshttp://www.netvibes.comhttp://www.netvibes.com/crimsonconnect#Homehttp://www.netvibes.com/coolcatteacher#Ad4dcsshttp://www.pageflakes.com/Room307iGooglehttp://igoogle.com
Adding ContentMost websites will spell it out by having a link or button called "add content" at the top of the page, usually at the top-left or top-right.There are two basic types of content you can add to the page: web feeds and widgets.A web feed, also known as an RSS feed, is used to read the news and can bring you the latest entries from your favorite websitesThe second type of content provided are components called widgets. Popular widgets used on include widgets that check email, a notepad for writing down reminders, a local weather checker, a scheduler, and search features for various websites or even the entire web. Some personalized start pages even allow you to add your favorite custom widget.
What can start pages do for students and teachers?Help students to organize online search materials, calendars, counters etc. With some services students can access pre-prepared tabs that teachers have created for them to give them access to research.For the teacher or for students they provide a place to track news, events and personal feeds. They assist in bringing the research to the user as soon as they start their browser.

Editor's Notes

  1. 44 states have virtual learning programs. Michigan Virtual School is one of the largest online course providers in the nation with 11,000 course registrations in 2007-2008. MVS partners with local schools to provide core and supplemental courses with over 100 part-time teachers that are Michigan certified, highly qualified instructors. MVS is primarily a supplemental program, although MVS has one full-time program to meet the needs of the Traverse City Area Public Schools.
