I didn't comment on a couple of the points in the syllabus and so decided to post another posting. hmmm.... I definitely sound like a digital immigrant there! I loved the articles about the involving the students and agreed with the points therein. After all, they do learn differently--and should! With the new tools at hand, students should be allowed to use them. And if school was always boring, that was always wrong! If it doesn't need to be, it shouldn't be!
It makes sense for schools to have their own social networking sites and blogs--this way, students would feel more involved and like they know their fellow students. Cyber-bullying and other security probems could be addressed by the school, I would think, if it were their site.
All of this discussion in these articles and in the textbook were very interesting to me, because of raising Net Gen/Digital Natives, and the feeling that gaps in my understanding are beginning to be filled with new knowledge and ideas.
