The technologies that we as students use in everday life should not be incorporated into the classroom. Such things like facebook, myspace, and cellphones are more entertainment techologies in nature. I'm not saying it would be impossible to use these in the classroom; in fact I think it would be pretty easy. I feel that using these would have a negative impact on learning and technology use. These coud provide distractions for students who have them and also for the students who don't. As for the negative impact on technology use, I know that I do not like using a technology outside of class that has been used for class purposes. Maybe if powerpoint had not been introduced into the classroom; some kids would use it for entertainment purposes.

I liked the whole envy element you added into the haves and the have nots.
Also an interesting point in that you prefer to not use classroom technology outside classroom. Internet too?
I agree I think it is imporatant to keep these elements seperate not as far envy goes but i feel as if they serve more as a huge distration.
