Al Upton and the MiniLegends -- Shut Down

Al Upton is a teacher in South Australia who had been doing some really amazing work with 8 and 9 year olds and cyber-mentoring. I'd tell you to go read all about it, but I can't. The government shut down the program while it assesses the risk of kids posting work online. This is what we all fear... that someone can complain to someone on the other end of a phone in an office and all the work we do can disappear.

Go read the conversation, lend your voice of support:

And be sure to read the voices of the kids who feel the loss of a wonderful, innovative program.
