« Social media…dirty word or essential skill? »
Bon, le mieux, c’est que je vous mette le passage le plus intéressant :
« Anyway, back to Dr. Daggett. He asked how many of us had Blackberries. An awful lot of us very cheerfully raised our hands. People really do love their CrackBerries. Then he asked how many of us allow our students to use BlackBerries, PDAs, or cell phones on tests. Obviously we all chuckled, but then he pointed out that, while we can’t let our students cheat, we’re essentially barring them from using tools in class to collaborate that they are expected to use in the real world.
The same goes for social media, often a dirty word in educational circles. Yet social media (whether blogging, Facebook, or even Webkinz) pervades everything our students do and increasingly drives much of what gets done in business. Social media are really just a set of tools that can either be used for stalking young people online or can enable businesses to collaborate across time zones and connect in new and innovative ways.
If administrators and teachers can focus on the latter, we’ll be a lot closer to engaging kids in those relevant skills the Gates keep talking about. »
