"Paul Barnwell’s article “Why Twitter and Facebook aren’t Good Instructional Tools” is a ruse…in a good sense. I think it’s a brilliant way to get a whole load of readers coming to the defense of social media tools in the classroom. But take a minute to read what he’s written and you’ll see it’s not an attack, it’s a call to action.
Done well, social media and technology integrated into the classroom feels like a familiar old softball glove. It becomes an extension of your hand and you almost forget that it’s there. Done badly, it’s a waste of time and the return on your investment is nil."
