growing up online #15 but not for mid-term

you can watch the entire show at:http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/

you should ...it's really, really good ...all students, teachers and parents should watch it

from the first part: technology and schools....how much is too much? the old way versus the new....what's right? what does it mean? one student says nobody reads books anymore...just go to spark notes...what does this mean for the education system? how should it react? If there were 27 hours a day, would he really read Hamlet....I don't think he would....does it matter if he doesn't

note how student "behaviour" is being affected by social networking sites...and not how the MySpace /Facebook battle neatly divides people among "class" (and racial) lines

so blog....how cool are we...using technology to do school work
