I read Wes Fryer's blog, Moving at the Speed of Creativity.
I really liked what he had to talk about. He really believes that technology should be integrated into classrooms because he believes that the students learn more that way. What he had to say about cell phones in schools really interested me. He had one post talking about how cell phones should be embraced and used to the capacity because here is one technology that most students have and schools do not have to provide for them. Plus I think that students would find it really cool to be able to use their phones in class and would learn more, simply because they are using their cell phones.
He seems to know a lot about copyright issues, or at least have a definite opinion on them. I think one of his specialties is trying to encourage educators to embrace the technology that students have, such as mp3 players, instead of banning them from school. He believes that teachers should find ways to pull those types of things into their lesson plans, and by doing so engaging their students.
