Not really finding this video as helpful. Twitter has been a round for a while and I am very acquainted with its uses. Note - video was created in 2009...four years ago!
There is NO WAY it is acceptable to friend our students on facebook. I agree that we should not make social media the elephant in the room. I just do not see how it is appropriate to be friends with a student on facebook.
I would challenge kids to use their OWN digital devices (iPhones, etc) and see if they can make connections with what they see to what they are learning in school!
Globe on Wii for Geography is obviously a HUGE engagement for kids! Internet browser...so what...they can do that on a computer. Wii Sports....of course the kids enjoy it, but who has time for it?
