"Sometimes teachers and administrators need a kick in the pants to see what they perceive as problems re-framed in a different way. Adam S. Bellow, author of The Tech Commandments, and founder of eduTecher, spoke to a roomful of receptive teachers at the recent ISTE 2011 conference, and demonstrated some of the ironies and contradictions the education system is mired in. And he had some advice."

Since most instituions pursue O.I. as a means of cost cutting (text based presentations w/o instructor/mentor inter-activity) it is no wonder the public perceived this in a critical light. My company IOE, Inc. offers Live instruction with a certified content specialist for secondary educational institutions. We seek to mirror the traditional brick and mortar classroom rather than obliterate it. Pleas efeel free to comeent or contact me at judeobsc12@gmail.com. Follow us on Twitter @IOEDU.

Article highlights why it may be that incorporating social media in the classroom could be good. I feel that it really highlighted the fact that students are already on it, so why not try and use it to our advantage to connect with students in a way that they know how to.
