Social software in schools
Oct 11 2007, 7:05 PM EDT
I found the conference very inspiring but am concerned about the use of social software in schools. If we develop school library groups on sites such as Facebook how do we draw the line between pupils using it for the library group or being in their area arranging a trip to Macdonalds or the pub? School networks are limited by band width and the number of machines being used; during school hours the use has to be for school work or the whole system grinds to a halt. The more online teaching , use of VLEs, online assessment that takes place the greater the strains on school networks. The ideas for using Blogs and Wkis can be translated into use with VLEs thereby keeping them more within the school framework. I have certainly been inspired to use my Blogs in a different way and to try Wikis both within the VLE and without. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
