I have found it helpful to use Facebook as a mode of communication with students (particularly those who are frequently absent!), and am inspired by your use of such tools in the classroom, too! Keep up the good work and doing what works for you and your kids–hopefully eventually the administration will come around!<br /><br />ChloeChloe Roothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540229757478821706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-1157665956943771552006-09-08T07:52:00.000+10:002006-09-08T07:52:00.000+10:00Hi Julie,I agree that banning kids from social net...Hi Julie,<BR/><BR/>I agree that banning kids from social networking sites will only make it more appealing as a "forbidding fruit" of some kind. <BR/><BR/>The sites are a fascinating social experiment and there is much that can be taught using them from communication to business lessons. I think the key to introducing this sort of thing without backlash from on high is to stress internet safety first so kids will have the tools they need to protect themselves. <BR/><BR/>There has been so much discussion lately of the dangers of social networking sites - apparently 1 in 7 kids was sexually solicited online in 2005! I hope that teachers and parents are teaching internet safety tools and arming kids with resources - like the Cybertipline to report solicitations - so that they (and their parents!) can feel safe online and allow them to enjoy these sites for what they are - because lord knows they are not going anywhere any time soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-1157411763498956932006-09-05T09:16:00.000+10:002006-09-05T09:16:00.000+10:00Julie, thanks for such an erudite post.

Not one of them sticks to the rules...in fact, being a transformative leader involves breaking the rules.<BR/><BR/>As an ed-tech administrator, I applaud your willingness to set the rules aside, redefine what is good in education, and taking up the question of irrelevancy. What is irrelevant in schools is what we should be doing...and what is relevant (high stakes tests) is what we should NOT be doing. The debate forces everyone--especially teachers--to finally step up to the voting booth and think.<BR/><BR/>More thoughts here:<BR/>http://www.mguhlin.net/blog/archives/2006/09/entry_2024.htm<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/>Miguel Guhlin<BR/>Student of the Irrelevant<BR/>http://www.mguhlin.net/blogMiguel Guhlin (@mGuhlin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13515062893694709221noreply@blogger.com
