DOPA (Digital Online Predator Act) has quietly (mainstream-wise) passed through the House. Based on the name it sounds like a good thing but educators need to dig below the surface. A lot of Web 2.0 tools out there for educators will have to be blocked (sites like flickr, del.icio.us and services like most blogs and wikis not hosted on your own servers). I urge educators to do their homework and if compelled contact their Senators.

About Me: I am the technology teacher/integrator at the Mildred L. Day School in Arundel, ME. Technology is a passion of mine since I was in junior high in the 80's taking a fortran course through my math teacher's account at USM. Outside of work I am a husband, father of 2 girls, and rabid Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots fan. When I have free time I would like to golfing (despite the short season).

My understanding is that the senators should be contacted by e-mail as snail mail is “filtered”
