Email Icebreaker #4: “I’m intrigued by…” Mention what interests you and what you liked about the other person’s online dating profile. “I have been on and off of Match.com and am actually dating a guy from there now,” says Amy Jo Beaver, a health coach in Atlanta. “My number-one suggestion is to actually read the person’s profile and reference what things you liked in it, and then ask a question (or questions) specific to that particular profile.

I believe that one of the roadblocks to innovative use of digital media to support teaching and learning in the classroom is the perceived divide between young people and adults in digital ability. Teachers can be reluctant to experiment with new media because of their unfamiliarity with it and their fear of giving up control in the classroom, and when they do introduce technology, they are at risk of imbuing it with magical powers and failing to give students direction about what to do with it, assuming that students already know. While we do need to tap into the knowledge and expertise that students bring to navigating the digital world, this does not mean that we abdicate responsibility for setting up educational opportunities that will allow young people to interact with the digital world in sophisticated and critical ways.
