In the News: Teen craze over networking sites

BBC NEWS | Technology | Teen craze over networking sites—darn those crazy teens. Apparently the UK version of MySpace or Facebook, Bebo faces the same challenges from schools and colleges that worry the site is potentially dangerous for students. The article explains, “Debbie Cowley, technology teacher at the college, told the BBC she was concerned about what pupils were sharing via the site. Some were posting personal details, pictures and even making disparaging comments about the school and its staff.” As is the case in the states, it’s so much easier to ban things than to teach, at least as far as administrations are concerned.
