Social Networking and Education

“Social Networking: does it bring positive change to education?”

This is one of the questions posed by The Economist magazine. Here is a link if you have a view, or if you want to understand more about the issues, or participate in the debate.

Their first debate focused on technology and education, the second on university recruiting, and the third and final debate is on social networking .

Is this a new frontier for technology literacy? Is it something educators should ignore? Do they have a choice? And what does it all mean and portend for our future?

Do you have a view?
