ictopus and Web2.0

A short while ago I was in a school doing some work with a group of children and we had fun ... it came to the end of the session and I suggested that the children just added their name to their own work, or if it was in a group, all of the names. As you do, I just glanced at the finished pieces and noticed one name began without a capital letter.
'Please check that everything is okay,' I said.
I looked again ... still no capital letter.
'Is that okay?' I said.
'It's fine,' came the reply.
I gave up being 'Mr Nice Guy'.
'The capital letter to start your name?' I asked in question.
' My name doesn't begin with a capital letter,' came the quick response.
'That's right,'said the teacher,'it doesn't!I've seen the birth certificate.'

So, sorry I just can't put the capital letter even at the start of the next sentence as for me ictopus is a proper name and I have decided that the 'sentences begin with capital letters' rule does not take precedence.(I am now looking forward to people fighting me over this)

ictopus has come of age in a big way. There are now 3529 subscribers from 30 different countries... truly international and the, largely English based, editorial team is striving hard to develop the 'internationality' of the items in the news or in the resources.

The latest edition of 'Sharing Good Practice' has a useful down-to-earth article about blogs and wikis in the classroom.Well worth a read.
