Why we should be teaching proper social network in our schools

Read this blog post about social networking in our schools.

Education is changing quickly Worldwide. The United States as a whole is far behind most developed nations in education and we are falling further behind everyday. Social network is not a fad, it's not something that is going away. Instead it is evolving right before our eyes. If you have ever seen the movie "You've got Mail" that was the beginning of social networking as we know if today. If you have not seen this movie you should.

We have to apply the same principles of social networking to our education enviornment. We actually needed to do that yesterday. I recently wrote a letter to the k-12 eduction legislative committee in North Carolina and got a few responses. We have to wake up and at least smell the coffee, right now the coffee is still in the field and not even in the package yet. Once we get the coffee in the package, they we might get a sniff of how social networking might be beneficial to education.
