  • homes and classrooms as well. Online communication tools put students in touch with distant family members, practicing experts, and their peers, wherever they may be located. Desktop videoconferencing, instant messaging services, microblogging platforms, and voice-over-IP clients facilitate connections and the dissemination of information between and among students and teachers, keeping classroom communities in touch with each other on a more extensive basis than ever before.
  • As more professionals work from remote or distributed locations, the need for cheap, flexible communication tools has grown.

  • conversations via Twitter (http://twitter.com), a microblog application, allow dialogs that are not bound by physical space or time limits. Meebo (http://meebo.com), a web-based instant messaging aggregator, eliminates the need for schools to support software from a variety of instant messaging vendors by enabling access to different accounts in one interface.
  • Many schools are now beginning to see instant messaging as a learning tool rather than a distraction. This requires new approaches to classroom management in order to optimize learning and limit unhelpful communications.
  • The value of online communication tools goes well beyond social interaction. Access to these tools gives students an opportunity to experience learning in multiple ways, to develop a public voice, to make connections with others around the world, and to compare their own ideas with those of their peers.
  • Debate, dialog, demonstration, conversation, and other means for exploring the many sides of a topic are all natural ways to interact using these tools.
  • Online communication tools create opportunities for “the teachable moment” even if students are at home, at the mall, on a field trip, or anywhere else.
  • While a shorthand form of writing is commonly used in text messages, students still need to develop their ideas in order to express them; and tools that make use of audio or video encourage students to articulate their thoughts clearly in order to be understood.

    Abstract / Not all Facebook users appreciated the September 2006 launch of the 'News Feeds' feature. Concerned about privacy implications, thousands of users vocalized their discontent through the site itself, forcing the company to implement privacy tools. This essay examines the privacy concerns voiced following these events. Because the data made easily visible were already accessible with effort, what disturbed people was primarily the sense of exposure and invasion. In essence, the 'privacy trainwreck' that people experienced was the cost of social convergence. Key Words / convergence / exposure / Facebook / invasion / privacy / social network sites
