Survey reveals gaps in school technology perceptions

I think that the main reason why everyone is so reluctant to accept some social networks to be educational so many social networks have had such negative publicity. Educators are afraid to take the responsibility of what students might say or do. I think that we have all found that as sites like facebook and myspace become more popular people do not think twice about what they say or do. As a technologist teacher I would love to incorporate computers into my classroom even more. I have heard some people say well kids don't know the keyboard its going to take them forever to type. We also have to remember our students aren't going to get better at typing if we don't give them the practice and opportunity. The biggest struggle that I think I might find is finding the availability to get into the lab or be able to use the laptop cart that my school can provide. I will just have to make sure that I am proactive and whatever that I have my students use. I set rules of respect and responsibility so that I have no serious issues arise.
