This is a great suggestion. Until we start exploring these web 2.0 tools to find out how they can be used to engage students, we have no way to argue that they should be unblocked.
ReplyDeleteThese are all good points but I have to add that in a lot of businesses employees are locked out from 1.0 tools such as gmail, hotmail, etc.
ReplyDeleteDr. Bell,
ReplyDeleteHave you heard about Skype? Apparently you can make phone calls across the world for free, among other things. I'm not sure why it's different. But, people in my district are using it, so I was curious.
Thanks for previous comments. I am sorry to hear that the business world has similar restrictive filtering and maybe this is just my bias, but I think it is even worse to do it at school. In the school environment, districts that are so restrictive hamper teaching and learning. I know less about the situation in the business world but I would think that clamping down really hurts morale and is perceived by employees as paternal and insulting.
ReplyDeleteAs to Skype, yes I am familiar with it but as yet have not had time to play with it. Soon....
