  Hi fellow bloggers.
  
  I am very interested in the concept of allowing Social Networking in the schools as a learning tool. This topic has interested me since becoming aware of all the tools I have utilised with the ICT and Pedagogy course. I found an article of the pros and cons of allowing this tool into the classroom. There seems to be a debate whether or not to utilise this type of learning tool into the curriculum. The types of questions raised where: What about predators? How do you stop explicit images filtering through? Will the students be distracted? I particularly liked the comments at the end of the article. It was quite interesting to learn how many people were fore the concept of implementing Social Networking into the curriculum. I'm still sitting on the fence with this topic. More research for me.
