  I wanted to take an opportunity to read another point of view regarding the use of social network use in the classroom. This article had two teachers with opposing views on using social media in the classroom. One was all for it and believes that his students are more engaged in his classroom. The other has only dabbled using social media and wants to preserve the classroom as a safe haven away from technology. I believe that this article demonstrates current viewpoints regarding social network learning. We are either progressive with social network learning or we remain reserved and uncommitted to fully using social media in the classroom.

  Interesting read! I agree with you completely that it does seem to be pretty black in white in terms of either diving in to using social media in the classroom or adamantly resisting. I will be interested to see how social media evolves in the next few years in the classroom.
