An alarming trend is gaining ground in our elementary schools: teachers using social media in the classroom. Now before you cite all the wonderful statistics about how it improves academic performance and engages students, I’ll beat you to the punch. Are educators so enamored with the results, they are overlooking the risks?
Unforunately, this is not a problem in my children's classrooms here in Normandy, where they do not even have 1 computer per class. I have to stop myself from reminding their teachers (for the most part solid) that it is 2014!!!
