We discussed PBS's excellent newspiece "Growing Up Online" which investigated the lives of the first generation of kids to grow up with Internet access their entire lives. We brainstormed a show with kids as well as covered the pieces of the news story which we felt were critical.
We discussed the Independent School Educator Ning network with Fred Bartels and Demetri Orlando. What is a social network? How do we expand it? How do we bring the other 98% of teachers into the world of their students. A fun conversation.

We continued our conversation about appropriate boundries between teachers and students in social networks with students from Rye Country Day School and Hewitt School.
What are you experiences with Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network and your students? What boundries do you draw?
21st Century Learning #58
A Discussion of the Issues Surrounding
Social Networking Between Faculty and Students
with Special Guest, Lucy Gray
December 5, 2007
We had an exciting conversation about the appropriate boundries that teachers should have between their personal and professional lives with their students, and how the Internet and Social Networking tools effect this relationship. Lucy Gray joined us about half way through our show to discuss Facebook and how college students are using it as a tool to learn, communicate and even get jobs.
Next week we'll be attempting to have a few students join in the conversation.
What are you experiences with Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network and your students? What boundries do you draw?
