Personal Learning Networks Are Virtual Lockers for Schoolkids

This article (Personal Learning Networks Are Virtual Lockers for Schoolkids) is about a teacher who's students have a Personal Learning Network. She says it is helpful with projects and researching because they can put whatever they are researching on their PLN. It is good to know that this will help me a lot in school. She also says that it is a "virtual locker" because it keeps changing when more information is put onto it. This teacher monitors her student's PLN very often. She makes sure all of the kids computers are visible from where she is teaching so she can make sure they aren't distracted with something else on their computer. ( I don't really understand how she does this because the students are facing her, so the computer screens shouldn't be visible from where she is teaching but maybe she has a certain technique) I think that a PLN would be fairly helpful for high school students as long as they are focus and willing to work on it. I think that it is possible for the students to drift off from it because it is another thing that takes up time in their busy high school lives but i also think it is worth it.

Teens Lacking Online Ethics

I think kids need to be responsible online beacause it refects who they are and it could get them into trouble if they are not responsible. I agree with the Harvard Study Finds Teens Online Lack Ethics when it says that there are many ways to help teens be responsible on the web and on social networks such as Facebook. Many kids however are responsible online and on social networks and they have ethics and know to track what they are doing online.

Building My PLN(Personal Learning Network)

A PLN is a Personal Learning Network where I will have the things I am intrested in on it. I am intrested in Art Design, Music, and Dance and my PLN will refect that. I will start by stating what I am intrested in and then eventually finding people with the same intrests.

Response on video for principal who banned facebook from his students

I believe that there is nothing wrong with Facebook, it's the kids who are doing the wrong things on it and not acting appropriately. I think that if you ban Facebook from all these kids, its not going to stop them going on it at all. Most have access to computers, so they will defiantly go on even if they are banned from it. Also, what about the students that did nothing wrong on Facebook? Are they banned from it too, because that would just be unfair. Facebook is a social network that can be used for important things other that socializing with friends and i think that the principal needs to know that.
