Rutgers student kills self after sex act broadcast online

Rutgers student kills self after sex act broadcast online
Now this hits at the heart of Technology Education. We must and should address the safe, moral and ethical issues that surround the responsible use of such an extraordinary social and professional communication media: the online world. And it's not just minors, it is grown people who still are making these mistakes too!

Although there might be, as said in the report, the possibility of it being ignored; I believe this is definitely step ahead of speed bumps that contribute to damage our cars. I hope it sticks!

Digital access, collaboration a must for students

A must read to fully understand this and future generation demands on education.

Digital access, collaboration a must for students


I would add though that the teachers have to not only be savvy in the use of the digital access and collaborative learning; but that these must be rationalized to meet students response. Sadly, I've seen students blocked from in school use, being pushed into working collaboratively with 4 or more different collaborative groups, in isolated projects within only one subject matter and with no rubrics as to what is being evaluated in each one. Schools and teachers must work collaboratively to ensure quality educational experiences that warrant quality educational responses from their learners.
