Undoubtedly, students will come to class expecting teachers to integrate the social communication tools they use everyday into this class. They will be asking: are we going to use Facebook in this class, are we going to tweet a little bit, can we use the chat in this class? As an educator, I feel their expectations should be met especially as I am a big believer in differentiation in teaching. As a technology teacher, I feel more productive in teaching those students many different ways of learning today’s technology and giving them the chance to explore more abou
