The article cites surveys of the use of
social
networking by students
in
the U.S. A study by the
National
School
Boards Association revealed that
students are already using them extensively to discuss schoolwork and their
parents support more use of
social
Web
tools
in
schools
. Meanwhile, a Pew Internet study showed
in
2006 showed that two-thirds of adolescents have
pages on sites such as Facebook or MySpace, and fully three-quarters of college
students do.
Just responded to a request to block some websites that are distracting students. I argue that blocking distractions doesn't solve anything. The Internet is a big place. Blocking distractions one by one never addresses the issues in the classroom.
Does your school block Twitter- try some of these.
