PLN 1.5

After Reading the blog 2cents worth by David Warlick, I came across a post named How Long Does It Take To Become a Tool. As I read the article it talked about how students, who were 10-12 years old, were using e-mail inappropriately, do to an unfiltered server. But as the article went on one teacher mentioned that at first it was a great idea for students to be able to use email in class, but over time she had realized that it was a bad mistake to give students such a privilege to use computers and laptops.
What Matters:
As i read the blog i thought what matters from this post, and to myself i think that what matters in this blog is that teachers are willing to give students the opportunity and privilege to extend the students learning ability by letting them use computers. But what also matters in this blog is that if students aren't mature enough to use laptops or computers they shouldn't be given the chance to use them in the first place.
How it relates to our class:
This post relates to our class more than any other blog that i have read so far this year. This is mostly because we are also using e-mail and laptops in our class. But because we are older and more mature ( but not much more mature ) then the students in the original blog, we wont be using them inappropriately, and wasting the privilege to extend our learning ability by using laptops or computers in class.
