      lets face the facts, there are some nasty and sketchy people in the world. its best to avoid the ones that are up to no good.there should be a guideline to tell the teen to know ahead of time whether or not there is a danger rather than learn the hard way.

    the feed exists today as it does in the book feed. only a down graded version. through chat rooms the youth find it very adicting to talk to other people online. but there are many problems with this. for example, DRAMA. sometimes it is easyer to get in a violently verbal argument on a computer rather than talk like that to a person in real life, alowing the person(s) being angry to display their true colors. similarly there is much cyber bulling with isolation, teasing, and other wrong behaviors that people typicaly only do because " they can."

  • Teachers are creative, intelligent people, and once they learn to use technology in their professional lives -- for keeping records, for creating documents, and for enhancing their own learning -- they will soon discover the many ways in which technology can enhance what they are doing with their students.

      As you can can see, this quoted pharagraph states some uses that technology is used, by teachers in order to enhance the learning of their students.
  • In a technology-rich classroom, students don't "learn" technology. Technology merely provides the tools to be used for authentic learning. It is a means, not an end. Technology provides educators with the opportunity to move from simply streamlining the way things have always been done to really imagining things they would like to do. What a wonderful opportunity!

However, is becoming an over used tool by most teens. They text so much that it slowly decreases human intereactions, such as texting your best friend who is in the same room as you! in relation to the book feed, the characters can "text" mental notes/messages to their friends without the need to verbaly talk.
