(  )smbmom | Jun 10, 2008 |   Not being a parent of a teenager (or even a potential parent), I appreciated this book on a different level. In the chapter "Teaching Teachers," author Anastasia Goodstein offered several very salient points regarding social networking in education, including the use of filters to the student's emerging social experience and increasing the digital divide, educators using technology for the sake of technology, as well as problems and success stories of the totally wired generation.
