I agree, just teaching a child how to use twitter or a blog is not that relevant unless it can be tied to instruction. The proposal seems rather vague on how this will be implemented in the classroom. Unfortunately, it is rare that teachers are ever trained properly and provided with curriculum ideas for using technology, but rather have to figure out how to do use it themselves. Work has been done on using the different online aspects and cell phones in the classroom to teach about various subjects, but without a teacher getting this instruction they fall back to the simplest activity possible and lose the educational value.
