I agree, we are in the midst of a transition period. I encourage my students to try and take their online experience in directions that create productive or practical outcomes. I like to see the development of communities. It is good to see students collaborate on sites that promote community involvement... The Toddycats Blog http://toddycats.wordpress.com/ The History of Malta and associated community site created by a Year Nine student at my school: http://skolamaltijawollongong.110mb.com/maltesehistory/index.html I feel this type of involvement and publication has more merit that aggregating 'friends' on MySpace.

I feel this type of involvement and publication has more merit that aggregating ‘friends’ on MySpace.

On all counts I think. The article appears a bit "sensational". Your "tabloid" description sits well. As a teacher at an all girls school I can report they are very adept consumers but not so good at the producing/contributing. It's a work in progress. There's a reason why we're called teachers. There are benefits some experience and fully matured brain bring to the table. I concur John. On all counts I think. The article appears a bit “sensational”. Your “tabloid” description sits well.
