We need to be able to teach our students (and teachers) to use this media wisely. Like Drug Education, if we don't talk about it, gross abuses will continue; however, if we show how the media may be used and be role models to its potential, I have a feeling we will be able to show the benefits of being a global collaborative group.

Although HR5319 is titled the "Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA)", the bill is very misleading. What most people don't realize is that this bill is misleading. If you take a closer look at DOPA, you'll find that this legislation actually limits your rights to access and express yourself on the Internet instead of "deleting online predators". But before this legislation becomes law, there are several more steps including getting approval by the Senate and, ultimately, being signed by President George W. Bush. Unfortunately, the public only sees what the media and politicians tell them. They need to hear from the actual users of social networking sites. The SAVE YOUR SPACE petition is your chance to be heard and to show the public, the media and the U.S. government the importance and amazing power of social networking sites. Help us get 1,000,000 signatures in 1 month. Visit www.saveyourspace.org for details. Sign the SAVE YOUR SPACE petition opposing HR5319.

The first post I read on the issue came from Mark Ahlness, then I read Will Richardson, then Vicki Davis and Doug Noon.
