Should students be confined to a walled garden? Using social networking in the classroom is a relatively new concept. Many have very strong opinions whether or not social networking belongs in the classroom. As with any type of technology used in an educational environment, there is a time and place for this resource. Select the photo below to listen to my thoughts on this subject.

Hi Catherine,
As a primary teacher, I believe we need to limit complete access to our very young students. As students progress throughout their education, I think they should be given more and more access, so I like the idea (and visual!) of the sloped wall. It is important to create that digital citizenship when kids are in a safe environment so that it becomes second nature when they are in an unrestricted environment.
