'Safe' Social Networking Tailored for K-12 Schools is an article that any teacher would be interested in reading. I wish we had something like this when I was in school. The only technology we had in school were typewriters and over head projectors. Reading the article about how students were giving Thomas Jefferson advice really caught my attention. I truly believe that this social networking would be a great resource when working with students. This is an area that I think students would be very interested in. As educators we have to find ways in which to get our students interested in learning. The idea that a teacher can monitor the students while they are on the computer is very important. I do think students who are not as outgoing as others could benefit from this type of networking. Some individuals may be more comfortable talking into a microphone rather than speaking in person. Students using the online forum that was discussed in the article can help other individuals who may be having difficulties. The part about teachers connecting with students interested me. I think students would be more interested in something like this rather than reading a chapter in a book. It seems that this type of social networking is safe for teachers as well as the students communicating with one another.I would like to find about more information on the social network. My opinion of networking tailored for schools is that it would be a better resource than Face book and YouTube.
