what are we supposed to do?
@monicabatac
“This is . . . writing that is well able to discuss how educational technologies could and should be used, but less competent and confident in discussing how and why educational technologies are actually being used.”
– Neil Selwyn and Keri Facer, 2014
“The most popular social media applica2ons were not created specifically for educa2onal purposes and their use can expose members to risk when it comes to maintaining professionalism. It is up to members to know and respect proper professional boundaries with students, even when students ini2ate electronic interac2on.” Ontario College of Teachers, 2011
