Ecto

This is in response to Dan's presentation on social networking. I think its great that like Dan my viewpoint is changing daily about social networking. It was nice to hear that he had such a strong opinion that social networking sites....should stay out of the classroom. As he is becoming aware of the possibilities of these tools within the classroom..he is starting to change his viewpoint. Maybe they are needed within the classroom I felt that way too but as I am researching the various social networking sites my views are changing. I feel that they can be worked into the curriculum. I feel that my students would accept these tools with enthusiasm. Ecto sounds like a great site, what type of support would my district give for this site. What school...not mine...has laptops for each student. I am not sure that we would be able to support this site in the full way that it was represented without major funds for new laptops etc.....
