Apparently, teachers do not
think it is such a good idea to have Facebook and MySpace in the classroom.
In a study
conducted by LM Research for ntl:Telewest, almost a quarter of teachers said
they worried about the amount of personal information that students disclose
online and their behaviour when using social networking sites.
Downtime suspects it is not the kids'
information they are worried about. Web pages never go away. The last thing a
teacher wants is someone looking up their old MySpace/Facebook page... student
parties, sex, drugs and roll 'n' roll.
