Social Networking In Schools: Educators Debate The Merits Of Technology In Classrooms - 2 views

  • In lieu of the controversy, networks have stepped up their efforts to create safer online communities for students. Facebook, which currently has over 900 million users making it the largest social networking site, partnered with the National PTA "to promote responsible and safe Internet use to kids, parents and teachers."According to a report about the collaboration, "National PTA and Facebook will establish a comprehensive program that will provide information, support and news to encourage citizenship online, reduce cyberbullying and advance Internet safety and security." Facebook went on to create both safety and education tabs that provide information and resources for educators and concerned parents.Myspace also established a partnership with the Attorney General, created a safety task force, and released a list of strategies for online safety.
  • As the debate over the role technology and social networking play in the classroom continues, proponents on both sides are fighting to find a balance between the importance of innovation and the safety of students. Though there are risks associated with encouraging students to use social networking sites, proponents argue the potential for opportunity outweigh the costs. As solutions that satisfy both sides continue to develop, online education resources may pave the way for growth in America's schools.

    "In this digital world, opportunities for education are available like never before. Though teachers using online tools are empowering students take part in their education, they may also expose them to inappropriate material, sexual predators, and bullying and harassment by peers. Teachers who are not careful with their use of the sites can fall into inappropriate relationships with students or publicize photos and information they believed were kept private. For these reasons, critics are calling for regulation and for removing social networking from classrooms -- despite the positive affects they have on students and the essential tools they provide for education in today's digital climate. "

    Hence more reasons why teachers must be well read and prepared and willing to work with a team/committee to help solve the issues of safety, legality and ethical behaviours before working on their school DLE.

  • Posting inflammatory or provocative comments on internet sites to cause grief to families is known as ‘trolling’.
  • After her death, scores of friends posted messages on Facebook alleging that Natasha was being bullied, although her school said it was unaware of any problems.
  • Judy O'Connell on 09 Mar 11
     
    "An internet tribute to a taunted public schoolgirl who died under a train has itself been hijacked by bullies. Natasha MacBryde, 15, was killed on St Valentine's Day following rumours that she had been teased about her parents' divorce. Friends set up a remembrance page to the 'model pupil' on Facebook so well-wishers could post messages. But amidst the fond memories came sick postings including one which said: 'Natasha wasn't bullied, she was just a whore', while another said: 'I caught the train to heaven LOL (laugh out loud)."

    "SOME 7.5 million of the 20 million minors who used Facebook in the past year were younger than 13, and a million of them were bullied, harassed or threatened on the site, a study released yesterday said. More than five million Facebook users were 10 years old or younger, and they were allowed to use Facebook largely without parental supervision, leaving them vulnerable to threats ranging from malware to identity theft to sexual predators, the State of the Net survey by Consumer Reports said."

    "Imagine the look of horror on one New York school librarian's face when she returned to her middle school library to find a list of overdue books with the names of kids who had borrowed them plastered on her door. She immediately thought of all the students who'd taken out titles on sensitive topics, like puberty."

  • By blocking students from the digital world, the jobs of administrators and educators are made easier, but if people became teachers, education leaders or parents because it was easy, they’ve selected the wrong profession.
  • Establishing a purposeful online identity of which one can be proud is an important skill to teach students.
  • Anyone can begin making a difference and contributing real work at any age.

  • Never before in history have kids had the ability to create and publish so much content, so easily. Never ever  have people had the ability to access so much information without leaving a seat. These are awesome abilities that come with awesome responsibilities. These abilities and responsibilities require skills that are taught and not inherited. Educators need to have the authority to teach these skills. Educators need to be trusted to teach these skills.

    "Our students need adults to stop being afraid, and stop hiding, so education can get out of the shadows and into the light of the world in which our children live."
