Snide, rude, sarcastic comments can be funny, as Jon Stewart of the Daily Show or pop culture comedian Jeff Foxworthy continue to prove on a regular basis. But when snide remarks about schools, students, teachers, or principals go digital, they can damage reputations and cause harm. Whether it's parents posting snarky comments about their child's teachers online or students texting rude comments about each other, "digital snarking" leaves a permanent record. Before this behavior disrupts your school community, engage staff, parents and students in a conversation about digital citizenship so everyone understands the rules of the new "netiquette." For more ideas, see this tip. What is all this "TWITTER" about?

Blogs are online journals that are really simple and easy to use. Wiki is the Hawaiian word for quick or fast. Wikis can be edited by many different people. They are a great tool for collaborating and synthesizing information. The open style of a wiki can be useful for group projects, while a blog may aid in brainstorming or generating discussion. Also, a combination of the two may best suit educational purposes. Because a wiki can limit which users can login and edit the content, facilitator control can virtually be the same as a blog, where comments and posts can be pre-screened. The main difference, then, between a wiki and a blog becomes the layout and organization of information. A wiki becomes a continually modifiable easy-access web page, while a blog's journalistic style catalogs and dates content so readers can see the interchange of ideas related to the blog topic in question.
