Public Relations, Social Media and Ephemera Since 2005

Now that the word is out, we can safely say that Scrapblog is participating in the Facebook Platform.
Here’s the word from the Scrapblog blog:

Despite some really good sessions and speakers, even some that sparked controversy, no one here is talking about the sad state of our educational system and how the next generation of voters is poorly prepared to make the judgements they will need to survive the world we are giving them.
If Andrew Keen is arguing that our children won’t know the difference between real sources of news and hearsay, is it the fault of the Internet or the fault of our schools? The Internet is just a tool, a medium and a place. It’s neutral. It can’t teach us anything more than what we put into it. And yet no one is talking about that.
Andrew Rasiej did bring up wiring our schools in his discussion of the techPresident campaign. I can’t argue with that. But what are we doing with those computers in the schools? Every child should be connected, as the techPresident manifesto says, but connected to what? Most school administrations are woefully ignorant of the basics of social media and networking.
There’s got to be a better way.
