“…….social media tools should 100%
be in the class room. I always
wonder why we don’t give kids more
technology because most of us use it
every single day of the week in work.
The earlier they get their hands on it
the better!”“I believe that much of the
backlash against social media
in the classroom comes from
stereotypical misunderstanding of what
social media is. It’s use as a
curriculum delivery mechanism is unparalleled.
Our small project in Portland
Oregon has seen some great
results from over and under
achievers alike.”
“The best teacher is still a human but technology enhances many aspect of teaching and learning.”
“I am from the
school of thought
that if you can
engage students with
their “speak” – and
social media is
definitely their
“speak” – you can
capture their
attention and begin
to open the doors to
listening and
learning.”

“Blogs eliminate CO2 in sharing programs and information.” from Yammer
Just for
Fun…
An observation
“This isn’t new, this desire to share. We’re just documenting our lives in different ways. Instead of diaries or scrapbooks or photo albums, we post pictures and blog and tweet.
Social media is the modern version of cave paintings. The key difference is the scalability. Unlike the physical and geographic limitations of scrapbooks and caves, anyone anywhere can hop online. In fact, that’s the point. The more friends, followers, readers, the better.
That’s how social media works.
The town square never shuts down in 2011.”
