  • I can see good in it, but what if the Internet got into the hands of conservatives? Our freedom is only safe in Democratic hands. Bush tried to wipe out a lot of our freedom with the Patriot Act. We saw what happened in the presidential riots in Iran. It got really hard for the people to get the truth out. I think the best thing is to work on making sensitive government and sites that regulate sensitve services impenetrable. In reply to: "Bill would give president emergency control of Internet"

  • Starfall
    I found Starfall several years ago and have used it with mentally handicapped students for quite a while. Even though it is meant for little children, the older ones who are moderately to severely disabled love it too. This site is a great resource. My only complaints are that the more advanced stories are not read out loud. As a special educator I feel that some kids need this kind of support.

    ONe really nice thing is the part where the student dresses the little figure, designs a face for it and has it do an activity. You can get considerable insight into how a child sees himself or wants to be from this kind of fun project.
