We are witnessing a massive change in the way people communicate. Good or bad? I'm not sure. But one this that is for sure is that it is here to stay.</p>John Sutton commented on '41 minutes per day...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d83513bb2553ef2007-05-11T14:37:42Z2007-05-11T14:37:51ZJohn Suttonhttp://www.creativeict.co.ukIt's not just Bebo, it's the whole social networking thing.

Kids are already doing so much with the web at home and on the move that the ICT curriculum they are being fed in school (from an English point of view, overwhelmingly the QCA ICT scheme) is becoming increasingly detached from the reality of the children's own experience. Instead of being the exciting, stimulating, mind expanding subject it has the potential to be, schools are running scared and using the media hype to refuse to engage with Web 2.0. Result is an ICT curriculum that is rapidly losing relevance to the children we teach.

I hadnt thought to stay in contact via Bebo ... all her friends were.<br />
I am also impressed with what she has taught herself about software, digital imagery, etc by her fascination with the medium. I have no worry about her last IT poor mark at school in her other life she is way beyond the mastery school wants demonstrated.</p>Tess Watson commented on '41 minutes per day...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d83513649553ef2007-05-10T22:15:16Z2007-05-10T22:15:22ZTess Watsonhttp://www.tessawatson.comNo worries Ewan (I am just furhtering suggestions), but in context, I think it is comparable.

Just in the taxi home now. I've been on facebook a while so do look me up but I certainly wouldn't use it with kids. It's not the sexiest design and it's best for more long term networking.

However, in their wisdom the authority has banned it, and the filtering software prohibits pupils from accessing it. </p>
<p>We even had scandal today when it turned out pupils were accessing it through a student teachers login. The login has become somewhat a black market commodity. </p>
<p>Am going to have a bash at Tessa's idea of using facebook with classes instead (am suspicious it will also be filtered out though). </p>

Be Cause<br />
Be Enriched<br />
Be Well</p>
<p>The one you missed is Be Cause which is dedicated to "good causes"</p>

<p>You have talked about Bebo here Ewan. Have you ventured into Facebook? Maybe on as flashy as Bebo, but far more secure. Worth a dabble if you have the time. Facebook was initially a network designed for tertiary education. Indeed originally you required a valid matriculation number to join. It is now open to anyone. And, you can use a bit off RSS. Worth a click.<br />
