The Social Classroom | Scholastic.com

“Sheninger says his school has gone through “a radical learning shift” and now embraces social media, as opposed to banning it. “Every site is unlocked-Twitter, Skype, and Web 2.0 resources that are often blocked in other schools are open here.” He also lifted a ban on cell phones, which he says fall in the category of “mobile learning devices.” Students can bring them to school and use them on the district’s secure wireless network.”
