15. "Five Essentials To Create Connected Students"


Vicki Davis is a full time teacher and Administrator who writes about the importance of students being connected to the internet. She believes that being connected isn’t just about socializing, it is a life skill that is needed in the classroom. Davis lists five essential to be a well connected student. She believes that students need to use the internet for things like personal websites and personal networks.
I like how positive Davis is about the use of the internet in the classroom. She believes that schools shouldn’t block websites or keep students from using them to communicate with. She has a good point about using twitter to communicate with authors. I also agree with her when she says some students do not know how to use technology when they are expected outside of high school. High school should be integrating all forms of technology and college readiness in the classroom.
