Social Networking

It seems to me that social networking could be a big issue within the school system, because other than filtering the entire systems out of the network, there is little way of being able manage these systems appropriately in the schools. It can become a distraction, it can be used as a tool to slander people, and it can be used as a means of searching for inappropriate things. There are good uses for social networking, such as being able to keep it contact with people all over the country and world without regard to costs and is great for people once your out of that high school setting. As a teacher, I know that it could be a dangerous thing within the school system, and it's that fear that I think shows that this is something that schools need to take seriously.
