QUESTION 1. According to the article, communication scholars found that intense Facebook use correlated with college learners’ sense of increased social belonging, and it is well established that learners who feel socially connected to their communities perform better academically. If this is the case, why do you think the drop out rate is still high among high school students?

CHANGING EDUCATION PARADIGMS
Ken Robinson
SOCIAL NETWORKING… IS IT OPTIONAL OR MANDATORY IN
SCHOOLS?
Students can
• Access to rich multimedia resources
• Share resources and information faster and more reliably
• Communicate more efficiently through email and messaging
Teachers can
• Transmit teaching contents more conveniently
• Disseminate news and information faster and more easily
WWW… IT IS MORE THAN… JUST
LEARNERS AS CONSUMER
Students can
• Be engaged in research on different topics based on their interests
• Interact and collaborate with other students, teachers, researchers or even parents beyond physical schools
• Create their own intellectual artifacts in different types of multimedia
• Shared, disseminated, improved, evaluated, and applied their own artifacts.
Teachers can
• Facilitate and help students’ active learning processes
WWW… IT IS SOMETHING LIKE
LEARNERS AS CREATORS
Providing freedom in learning (what, where, when)
Improving collaboration through discussing and sharing information
Improving communication through more feedbacks and access to resources
Providing personalization of communication network
Providing peer-to-peer journalism (in which regular citizens become eye witness journalists by capturing and broadcasting news event)
Making classroom practice richer (if used appropriately) and more challenging for teachers

The Fun They hadIsaac Asimov
• Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary. On the page headed May 17, 2157, she wrote, "Today, Tommy found a real book!”
• It was a very old book. Margie's grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper.
• What's it about?" asked Margie.• Tommy said: "School.” it's not our kind of school, stupid. This is
the old kind of school that they had hundreds and hundreds of years ago.” They had a special building and all the kids went there." "And all the kids learned the same thing?" "Sure, if they were the same age.” They didn’t have a regular teacher, I mean a mechanical teacher. It was a man. REALLY, A MAN? asked Margie.
• Margie was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had.
