    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

  • What Mubarak might not have known is that while he was trying to maintain his iron grip on power, thousands of Egyptians were tweeting about their frustration with the dictator. Eventually, the people on the street, armed with nothing more than a cell phone and a free social media site, changed the course of history. If you are a middle or high school social studies teacher, and you wanted to provide your students with a close-up view of the events unfolding in Egypt, you could turn to a traditional news service. Or, you could follow the hashtag #Egypt on Twitter and tap into the real-time pulse of unfolding events by people on the streets of Cairo.

    Simple Structures: The late Hilda Taba, noted social studies educator and curriculum developer, always emphasized that "kids need categories," or "pigeon-holes," if you will, into which they can fit new facts, concepts and ideas. Abundant learning theory supports this. The fact is that most teachers also appreciate having some simple structures with which to work.

    This is a great idea if you want to show the world to your students using the Google Maps street view. Here the example shows how to integrate the street view with a language lesson, but one could easily use it for other disciplines (Social Studies, Literature, etc...)
