Hi Steve, I don't know if there is an explicit or implicit standard re: crediting sources for classroom2.0, but there is some useless plagiarizing going on in a couple of the discussions here, the kind that just looks silly since it is so blatantly inappropriate (Ian and I both commented):

Sure Steve. Would love to chat. I'm more or less always in front of my computer, so you can ping me at mpstaton@gmail.com and I'll give a call. I'd like to talk before this workshop that goes down.
I certainly would be selfish if I considered that win mine. I think the award really belongs to everyone here, and to the determine few who have really made this network a pace of truly remarkable dialog.
You will see the comment below from Parul, who is reposting from her blog (http://bhopu.com/2007/12/08/Ready-for-Real-Estate-2.0) even though it has nothing at all to do with education. I'll give her credit for self-promotion, but it's really a waste of people's time here to wade through a post like this wondering if it is going to have anything to do with education (it doesn't). She might learn something from watching how this ning works, definitely, but it doesn't seem appropriate for her to use it as a place to repost from a blog that is not education-related.
Steve-
I am the teacher that recently created accounts for my students. I must have been incorrectly informed as to the use of Classroom 2.0. Our district's head of technology spoke to us recently about Classroom 2.0 being a way for students to communicate with eachother and being a "safe" alternative to sites such as MySpace or Facebook. Obviously from some of the comments I've read on here, this is not the case!
I certainly appreciate your quick decision to delete the accounts and I have taken similar action in deleting the links from our school's website. I would agree with a comment that I read on here that it does speak VERY well of the people using this service that this was caught so quickly and that people tried to help rectify it.
I apologize if I scared anyone!!! Like I said, I was under the impression that this was suppose to be a "kid friendly" social network, and I obviously know now that it is meant for something else!

I think you made the right call. The discussions here are aimed at educators and not children, I spend many many hours with my Junior High getting them to take their last names and home cities off their My Space accounts-and how to verify everyone on their friends list and to delete names of people they don't know .
personally!
I taught them how to create avatars for their pictures and how to pick a screen name not related to their real name.
When I have my kids collaborate on a wiki they all pick a "Corporate Name" and use that. Even my classroom wiki does not give out City or State info...always better to error on the side of safety
The really positive thing here is that members recognized this as a concern right away..it speaks well for the memebership., and of you who handled it all so quickly
steve can you mail me if you wish my PLEASE wakey,,,
discussion for me to close it
i personally do not feel the inclination. to do this but do NOT
wish particularly anymore retorts of my opinion/ views being boith hostile and immature

Steve,
Hope you don't mind, I borrowed the Podcast of you talking about Ning for my blog: PowerLibrarian.blogspot.com. I am so happy you like Ningdom... I just think it fits!
Steve, I am so happy to read on your blog about an advertising-free version of Ning for teachers to use with students. Keep up the great work in the Ningdom!

Hi Steve,
I'm new to Classroom 2.0 and am trying to change my profile picture. I click on the button to do so, but I can't figure out what to do after that. Thanks!!
Thanks for your note on my page. I hope my involvement helps. Take a look at my recent response to your post on Where To, Classroom 2.0? - Classroom 2.0. Let me know if I can help in any way.
As there is now a second teacher who has chosen to use classroom2.0 as the blogging tool for a class, I think it would be worth adding a box or blurb or something on the main page that will give teachers who want a blog space for their class instructions on how to create THEIR OWN NING COMMUNITY for this kind of purpose - it would be more effective for the students in a class to have a real community of their own, and it would also help in keeping their "assigned" blog posts (something they are clearly doing in response to a class prompt, not as actual community participants) showing up here in the feed.

Thanks, though, for thinking of me!
Congratulations to you on Classroom 2.0 's win at the Eddies! Excellent show!

Just a follow up to my email. I know you are probably extremely busy... but any chance that we could meet while you are in Denver?
Best regards,
