This week has been very interesting. We have been studying the implications of using social networking sites in the classroom. I have to say that I fully believe that we need to be including more of them into schools, instead of further restricting their use. We have also been discussing whether technology has rewired our student's brains and created a generation that does not have appropriate social skills. I agree that the social skills of today's youth may have changed, but I believe that the shift is not bad it's just different. As adults, we may not be comfortable with the way teens and younger people communicate, but we cannot just assume that it is wrong and dismiss the new form it comes in.
