My son @timlucier has a twitter account and an ipod touch and recently, has gained access to school wifi. Is this an opportunity or a significant problem for his teachers?It's time for educators to know what is going on out there and inside their classroom. An untapped opportunity from my perspective.
I agree Todd. How can we allow students to leverage technologies, unless we're willing ourselves to explore their potential?Educators need to engage with emerging tools for their own use, before assuming they are suitable or unsuitable for the classroom.
