Module 9

I watched Online Social Networks - Friend or Foe?(Part of the series School Matters), the clip talking about the rise of online social networking has brought a new dimension to social interaction and exploring the issues that they raise for teachers. There is no doubt websites like MySpaces, Twitter, Facebook and etc. are great social networking websites, allowing you interact with friends online and make more new friends but the down side coming with it is also obvious, it includes cyberbully which is much harder to detect and trace the source, kids spending too much time in it and deserting their study which leads to less exercise outdoors, may cause them losing ability to interact with others in person. So I think what important for teachers and parents is we should work together to teach our kids how to use these tools, use it as a tool for efficient work and study, not addictive to it.
