I liked your insightful article. Technology advancements have been amazing and rapid. School districts struggle to keep up with the pace. But at what cost? Most children today are tech savvy without formalized classroom instructions about how to use a computer, etc., etc. The growth of MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and so on give testimony to the growing trend of youth competency with technology, especially in using social networking, among other gadgets and applications. But I fear much has been lost and our children are less and less educated. By education, I mean that which leads one more deeply into the truth, the good, the beautiful. No amount of gadget/tool learning can replace time tested methods of instruction that teach the 3rs with paper and pencil..Just my 2 cents.

There is a comment about Amanda being one who is mentally ill. Any person with a loved one with Autism knows that not all Autism is alike. There are different actions and routines individual to each person. Nevertheless, what Amanda is saying is profound, and I believe this is what she is talking about. There are these people out there that do not think in a language other than English. I have witnessed other teachers trying to teach students with Autism to speak in the English language. Instead to trying to meet them halfway, they just take a diagnosis and run with it.
Kudos to Amanda for enlightening us. If only the whole world would pay attention and take it to heart.
I am cheering for her and all the other individuals with Autism labeled non-verbal. They will find their “words” and one day we will all hear….

My fear of cyber problems have kept me out of social networks and other uses of the internet besides one way research. I agree with the very valid point you make that ignoring the fact that kids are on the internet does help them be safer. It is time to educate our students on the positive uses of the internet. For me, that step first must be to educate myself.

It’s partially the Girl’s fault for accepting someone she didn’t know not completely but about 25% I think it is funny how people comment this with a ton of long comments not thinking about how she accepted him in the 1st place. :)

It helps to make current events relevant to them and how youth today communicate.

As with anything being taught, the more interested and excited the teacher is about something the more it rubs off on the students. If only we could find more ways to make science and calculus so exciting.
