Whe I talk about social media in education I get many comments along the lines of "but what if the students aren't ready?" But I wonder whether the problem lies elsewhere. Julie Cunningham writes, "Are the parents ready? Nope. No way. Uh-nuh. This is a huge issue. Which is a sobering thing when you have students heading into middle school, and an overwhelming number of kids who are already using Facebook, email, text messaging, etc. If parents are not actively helping their students navigate the digital world… well, that way be dragons." Edmodo, by the way, is a social media client designed specifically for schools.
