On Social Media in Education

I had a great chat with Peter Baron today about the role of social-media in schools. It was one of those heady dialogs. It reminded me a little (a bit fondly) of the 90's where everyone was getting hyped-up about networking and web for schools.

It struck me as a bit uncanny how this emergent movement feels so much like the last one. There's lots of enthusiasm, many champions and big ideas and yet there is an equally palpable sense of anxiety and wariness of the whole thing.
