With all of that as a grain of salt to this post, I want to share a few reflections focused on security and control - the items touted ahead of launch as the elements positioning Google+ on the other side of Facebook.

As an educator (and a social media neophyte), I was dismayed that – despite the scant five students in class – the instructor never asked us to introduce ourselves and discuss why we were there. She now lives in New Jersey off of exit 109, and is still not on Facebook. Next time, say it with feeling. What a missed opportunity!

We want students to engage in learning because the learning itself was motivating to the student. As educators we strive to facilitate experiences where the content is so rich, the activity so engaging, and/or the skill so problem solving that students are motivated internally to continue to learn.

Students will acquire the tools needed to make their tweets glimmer with a complete lack of forethought, their Facebook updates ring with self-importance, and their blog entries shimmer with literary pithiness.
