The Invisible Web and a Principal's Blog and Copyright Fun

There is so much more on the Internet than most of us ever find. And often, what we don't see is vastly better information than what we do see. Robert Lackie has posted an excellent list of tips and resources for exploring the "Invisible Web". It's well worth the time it takes to check out some of these tools.

Now for a real treat...take a look at Dr. Williams' (the Principal of Hewitt-Trussville Middle School located somewhere in Alabama) blog entitled The Principal's Blog. More to the point, look at the comments to his blog entries. Wow....kids are creating a dialogue with their Principal. What a treat.

Finally, it's hard, sometimes, to make Copyright Law interesting. But it is always important. We educators hang our copyright hats on the hook of "Fair Use". Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University provides this humorous, yet informative, review of copyright principles delivered through the words of the very folks we can thank for nearly endless copyright terms.
