[| Cyberlaw: Rethinking Order in Our New Reality - Evan Zullow April, 2000] This is valuable research that has been attained through interviewing 17 "cyberlawyers". I found Part 4, //Recognizing Potential// to be of my interest as it states the cyberlawyers "are motivated by their hopes for the future of the Internet, and their desire to insure that certain values are imported into the technology and incorporated in the application of law." To see this pinpointed nearly 7 years ago by experts in the field is reassuring. We must recognize the growth the web has undertaken since this article was written and continue to strive for to create and maintain online value and moral systems. The author notes that it is a careful balance between underlying democratic rights and legislation that creates the largest obstacle.

Val Evans writes this comprehensive article as the fourth part of his study of social software[|. Social Software: Challenges, Risks, Issues And How To Confront Them (Part IV)] June 8th, 2007. Val points out the tensions exist in the area of adoption of social software v. the status quo, as well as the continual butting of heads between enabling youth v. compliant youth and problems that arise. In this second argument she points to research that suggests education is best completed by enabling youth with the tools and carefully balancing this with policy and procedure which direct student compliance. Challenges that Evans foresees in the use of social networking include privacy of students’ work and learning to ‘know who to trust’ as reliable and valid sources.
