C4T #2

I was assigned to comment on Bill Ferriter's blog, he is a 6th grade language arts teacher in North Carolina. He has some very strong opinions on some very interesting topics. The first post I commented on was about using social networking in schools. He chose ten responses, five negative and five positive, that people gave in response to their opinion about social networking. I enjoyed seeing the different opinions of people. I think that social networking is a great tool for learning, but as with everything, students may find a way to abuse it. The next post that I commented on was about interactive white boards. He does not like IWB's. I said that I have not used one yet so I can not have to much of an opinion. But I said that if a teacher can enhance a students learning experience then the IWB's are a good initiative.
