Scott McLeod' s post over “Don't Teach Your Kids This Stuff. Please?” says that using computers and cell phones are unthinkable to children. Mr. McLeod suggest that with using web programs like Twitter and Facebook, it is dangerous and harmful to a students learning experience. The post several times said to stop using technology. When Mr. McLeod said, “...don't do any of it, please really 'cause I'm doing all of it with my kids can't wait to see who has a leg up in a decade or two can you?” says to me that he really says he thinks that if a student does use technology that, they will be higher up on the learning and intellectual scale then the students who does not use this technology.
The use of Twitter and Facebook is dangerous but at the same time it can be a lift for the student in technology. Educating students on do's and don'ts when using social networks will be beneficial in the long haul. But as far as having a leg up, they will in the skills.
