Ariel posted up an article called "Social Networks Could Help Community Colleges". I learned that social networks like twitter and facebook are being used for educational purposes. This is very similar to the article we read in class about cell phones and new policies that were being constructed around these cell phones in schools. Now, social networks like twitter and facebook are helping students with news and other different aspects of education. I was wondering if these social networks could be potentially distracting to students? What policies are being taken so students do not abuse their social networking freedoms? These are all questions that came up when I look at his article. I also thought about the benefits that these new policies probably had on students. Besides being entertaining and providing the students with alternative ways of learning, the use of social networks is probably a great way to stay updated with news and gathering information quicker and easier for classes.
