I believe in technology

I believe that technology is a good tool for education, but it is also one that needs to be heavily monitored and regulated. Technology can be used to engage students but it also opens the door for students to use it for noneducational purposes at a time they should not be. Making public student work through blogs can set up problems. I believe all students should in their first blog write that this blog is for educational purposes only that way other people will not be tempted to use it for social means. Children should feel free to have a social blog but they should keep that one separate from their educational blog. I believe this fits for more than just blogs. It can apply to websites and anything else that makes the students educational work public.
