How the public feels

"Many social media advocates have argued that the use of these tools in classroom settings could greatly enhance interaction and learning and assist shyer, more reserved students in becoming more involved, as has been seen in other online environments,“~ Susan Barnes,

Computer-based technologies cannot be regarded as “media,” because the variety of programs, tools, and devices that can be used with them is neither limited to a particular symbol system, nor to a particular class of activities...... In this light, “the computer” is in fact a “multifaceted invention” of many uses, a symbolic tool for making, exploring, and thinking in various domains. It is used to represent and manipulate symbol systems – language, mathematics, music – and to create symbolic products – poems, mathematical proofs, compositions. (Salomon, 1992, )
