Use the power of social networks with students:
Set up twitter or TweetDeck:
Kids today?
• “What’s wrong with this generation of kids?” • “Students today can’t read the way we could 20
years ago.”• “Kids are addicted to the Internet. I think they don’t
learn proper social skills any more.”• “All the kids I see just want to play dumb, violent
computer games.”• “Kids today can’t concentrate the way they used to.
They don’t listen properly.”

, , and , to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments.”
