Darren Draper explains why he decided to block facebook in the classroom. "it's a matter of fighting for balance and the cognitive attention of our students... students have tended to spend inordinate amounts of time on the site - forming gangs, playing cards, writing on walls, and poking each other." Bud Hunt replies, "There are an awful lot of distractions on the Internet.
