I had this exact issue with Wetpaint this past school year, as you will recall, when my school district temporarily had an issue with WikiSpaces. It was my first real experience messing around with WetPaint and what I saw I liked. I have a couple of WetPaint pages up, but had to go back to WikiSpaces because of time issues and the fact that my students were used to it at that point. With a new group of students coming up I just might have to look again. I remember also having an issue of having to go through a waiting period to have our site registered as a free Ed. site which WikiSpaces doesn't make you do. I'd love to talk to you sometime about WetPaint, To bad I'm not at NECC this year! Brian Jeff – Just read this post while I’m in Switzerland.

As tech person that has worked primarily with elementary students and love the web 2.0 tools I get very frustrated that I cannot use so many great things at the elementary level. Once I knew about the COPPA laws so many things changed for my planning. I am very frustrated when I see other people promoting use of them in the elementary school. I am so interested in seeing at NECC how some of the presenters who are promoting web 2.0 tools in the younger grades how they deal with COPPA. Thanks for being so open and honest about it!!

Best of luck this weekend at the conference. And keep the great feedback from educators coming. It's so exciting to hear about the impact Wetpaint is having in the classroom and ways we could make the service even better. And most importantly, thanks for all your efforts and support. Be well!
