The Yale Law Journal - An Overview of the E-Discovery Rules Amendments
The electronic discovery amendments are an interrelated package. The amendments address five broad areas
This is the second installment in a series of posts examining the effects of the amendments made to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (the "FRCP") in 2006 on technology use in schools. In the initial post, I provided a broad overview of the discovery process and the role of electronically stored information within it. This post concerns the role of the IT staff of the school district or school site in e-document management. Based on the results of additional research, this post also attempts to further explain a misconception identified in the initial post in this series.
The discussion at Wes Fryer's blog in part concerned the implications that the December 2006 e-discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) have upon technology use in the schools, particularly Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, Wimba, social networking sites, and microblogs.

CASTLE - Principal Blogging Project
Blogging can have numerous advantages for busy school principals. Blog content is typically more timely, easier to create, more interesting to parents, and better available to prospective families than traditional communication mechanisms. Unlike unidirectional newsletters or web pages, blogs also are automatically archived, are searchable, and facilitate conversations through their ability to handle comments. Principals are finding blogs to be fabulous vehicles for school publicity, public relations, and community building.

The Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund makes discounts available to eligible schools and libraries for telecommunication services, Internet access, and internal connections. The program is intended to ensure that schools and libraries have access to affordable telecommunications and information services.
Top News - How to survive another e-Rate season
If you're applying for the 2009 e-Rate, the $2.25 billion-a-year federal program that provides discounts on telecommunications services to eligible schools and libraries, you won't find many new additions to this year's program, e-Rate officials say. Instead, you'll find live training sessions, online videos, and other web-based resources designed to help you become more comfortable with the e-Rate application process.
The e-Rate audit: What it takes to be prepared
e-Rate audits are increasingly becoming a fact of life for e-Rate applicants. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been allowed to spend more and more money to examine applicants to ensure they are compliant with e-Rate rules and regulations. The key to surviving an e-Rate audit is to always be prepared for one by maintaining proper documentation about your e-Rate activities.

If you don’t understand what Chris is talking about, you’re out of touch.
If you think you know what Chris is talking about you need to surround yourself with people who understand this type of transformation.
If you sill think schools don’t need to change, can’t change or that your school is a “good school”. Your school will be left behind.
If you want to hire passionate educators, you yourself have to be passionate!About Becta - Becta report shows benefits of Web 2.0 in the classroom - Becta

A Difference: How Flickr Threw a Switch In My Head
Last year, one of the people in my aggregator, D'Arcy Norman, published a video to share the results of his year long experiment: he took a picture every day for a year and published it to his flickr account. He called the experiment 365 Photos. Actually, an entire community has grown up around this idea on flickr; it wasn't D'Arcy's idea originally, there are over 1200 "365 Days" groups. I don't know who started this originally but it seems like a natural extension of publicly sharing your photos.

Parents have a fundamental right to direct the education of their children, including the right to choose a private school. However, states have the power to regulate private schools. That power is limited because the majority of private schools are religious institutions.

@hesslei - Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I didn't bookmark any of the sites in this post with public/private school choice or state regulation of private schools in mind. I'm curious to know which bookmark you are respond to and how you feel these ideas are connected.
