This brings forward the idea of "normalization" proposed by Bax. I think it is a long time 4 us to see such a normalization in educational institutions where the technology is normalized as the pen and paper where students and teachers do no notice that there is something new ( a tool).<br /> Every technology tool whether web-based or an application lends itself to develop a certain skill (e.g word processor affords itself to enhance writing skills) but technology is still a tool manipulated by the teacher to harness its power so educating teachers on technology is a must and crucial if want to normalize technology in schools.<br />As for twitter, I think it is an excellent way to communicate with parents but as for students I would rather prefer edmodo with its secured features.Ammar A.

We learn from people we know car about us. The concept, though, has been that any online relationship is inherently sinister, evil, and predatory. While I don't extol the idea that we should be facebook friends with all of our students there is a right way to forge "right relationships" in the digital world. A fan page for my class where I can post updates to all the students, a Twitter account for test reminders. A blog for announcements. The digital landscape is really no longer a den of thieves and thank you for articulating it so well!mbjorgensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888253838240458522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-32733466016084668112009-08-24T19:19:10.345-04:002009-08-24T19:19:10.345-04:00The same thing is happening at my school.
