Ayomitide77: Having a web-enabled phone nowadays is no longer a luxury as you can now get good phones with internet facilities for a token nowadays.

damoskiy: school is place to mold and shape a person for the future.The ability of you not been able to speak in class shows that you have low self esteem.if a teacher interacts with you on line how is your self esteem going to grow

Abu Mikey:



I don't think a Sane teacher would share Personal information with a student online,can You give obvious examples please?

Ayomitide77: What most students need are just words of encouragement and this can easily be achieved via social networking websites

snoopy:

That is not entirely correct. Closer to home, to the average Nigerian it is not a luxury. But you must understand that a lot of people still fall within the one dollar a day category where the only opportunity they have of attending school at all is brought about by the free education policy of most state governments. It is a luxury for those kind of people.

Abu Mikey:

damoskiy: We have students who are stubborn,
some are struggling in class while some
are shy to speak up in class and these
sets of students refuse to ask of help. It
becomes so hard for teachers to reach
these students, if teachers are not ban
from interacting with their students via
social networking, those set of students
would be able to reach out to their
teachers and request help on topics they
might not understand. Some student
can be embarrased about asking
questions in front of their peers. how would they grow if they are shy to speak with their teachers

damoskiy: if we encourage ourselves physically we would have better understanding of the person and his state of mind at that time.we cannot know someone state of mind via social network

Ayomitide77: Teachers organizing quizzes and tutorials for students on social networking sites is mainly to aid what they were taught in the class and students missing out of this is negligible.

damoskiy: That is the reason every teacher must know their students.Social network serve as a medium of interaction, in which the teacher can give extra classes online to less participating students.

That can lead to something else

Ayomitide77: I never said we can know someone's state of mind via social network, but I think that is the best avenue to address someone's personal problem instead of addressing him/her in the classroom so as to avoid his/her classmates of making mockery of the student involved.

gbemmie09:
Lead to what? Teachers have policy guiding them, so they know when to draw a line when interacting with their students.

snoopy:

i disagree with you kind sir, it is not negligible. thinking the financial incapacities of the 'few' poor students not being able to fully partake in educational activities as a result of not being able to afford online interaction as negligible will amount to discrimination, and what do you think this will do to the morale of such student?

Ayomitide77: Nothing sir as there are other means of learning that such students can apply like using like textbook reading,visiting school or public libraries and do on. Social networking websites is also a means of learning just like other means.

damoskiy: you could call the student aside to speak with him its better that way

gbemmie09: Nowadays, the classroom has lost its
sanctity as cases of intimate
harassments and other vices between
teachers and students are increasing
in geometric rates and the benefit of
facelessness and anonymity which
some social networking websites offer
could help to further perpetuate such
vices and even take it to an advanced
level if a teacher-student relationship
on social networks is encouraged.

damoskiy: what do we learn from facebook if i may ask

Ayomitide77: Nothing sir as there are other means of learning that such students can apply like using like textbook reading,visiting school or public libraries and do on. Social networking websites is also a means of learning just like other means.

Ayomitide77: I guess that's a way off question.

damoskiy: i disagree ma....if i have access to all your information i can send kidnappers after you and get down with you.

gbemmie09: gbemmie09 A recent survey showed that some percent
of teachers, principals, librarians are
active in at least one social network
space.

Ayomitide77: Interaction as name implies is a kind of action that occurs as two or more object or person have an effect upon one another. Social networking websites are websites that enables users
to create a public profile within that website and form relationship with other users of the same website. It can be used to describe community based websites, online discussion forums, chat rooms and other social spaces online.
As we all know that we are in the 21st century where social networking websites is no longer an option but a necessity as it usage cuts
across all varieties of life.

A research on why students fail a particular examination or test has shown that it is mainly not because they are not serious or attentive enough but because they are either afraid or they don’t like the teacher involved.

damoskiy: In the 60s and 70s when the standard of education in Nigeria was relatively higher and when the sanctity of the four walls of a classroom weren’t as desecrated as we have it today, there was nothing like online social networking and teachers then still brought about students who turned out to be professionals in their various fields of endeavour later on
