What a fantastic structure for kids to begin developing. I think it is optimism that help folks see the good in the connectivity of social networking and fear and pessimism that prompts people to focus on the the (very real) risks of online predators and identity theft.mbjorgensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888253838240458522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6256508846511627364.post-72504334343722842652008-11-26T19:27:00.000-07:002008-11-26T19:27:00.000-07:00My feeling is that teachers should demonstrate a c...My feeling is that teachers should demonstrate a caring attitude and teach students how to be social appropriately while on-line. As I have had opportunities to do this in my classroom I have found students behaviors in the classroom changed for the better. It may be a challenge for the "Experienced Teacher" to allow such social networking in class - but can yield huge results. One student while sharing the Animoto video got such huge positive responses that she offered to teach other students how they could create one.<BR/><BR/>How often do I personally visit websites, blogs, or use twitter as a way to extend my personal learning. I have a huge belief that development of a Personal Learning Network is one of the best things a teacher can do. In addition, I feel it is our responsibility to help our students develop their own PLNs and use them appropriately.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520239724220420022noreply@blogger.com
