Having our say

BoardBuzz is so excited about our latest glory. Actually it's not ours, but let's call it sharing the joy. NSBA?s Ann Flynn, director of education technology, has been invited to be a Guest Commenter in an online debate hosted by The Economist Online. The topic is ?Social Networking: does it bring positive change to education? This debate has been simmering for some time now, but BoardBuzz is glad to see it taking formal shape in this forum. The Oxford-style debate, which began on Tuesday, will go through January 24, featuring Ewan McIntosh, National Adviser on Learning and Technology Futures on the "pro" side, Michael Bugeja, Director of Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, Iowa State University on the "con" side, and three guest commenters. Flynn's comments will appear January 22. NSBA's report Creating and Connecting//Research and Guidelines on Online Social - and Educational ? Networking provides a great resource and background information for anyone following the debate and interested in participating. You can log in and create a "pen name" to comment and vote for the winner of the debate. It's already gotten spirited, so be sure to check it out!
