EDTECH 541 - Walled Garden and Social Media

This week's topic is about social media in school. Schools face some hard decisions about how to plan the access to be provided for their students. Some default to a very strict and very limited access, which means no social media sites. Some schools still block YouTube, some even block Google and Yahoo. Here's a VoiceThread with my thoughts on the "Walled Garden" and some ideas about consideration for schools as they evaluate their particular situation.
