Disruptive Technology - Student Edition January 11, 2008

Doug Johnson covered a recent student walk-out at a high school where students were disciplined based on the content of their Facebook pictures.  Students at the high school even used Facebook to organize a walk-out to protest the school response.  This is a good example of how disruptive technology can be, especially where educators are not paying attention to the current world in which their students live.

If the figures from the article above are accurate, about 85% of Eden Prairie’s students have an online presence. Are educators adequately addressing these concerns? What percentage of educators are aware of these concerns?
