During todays class we discussed the class book Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed. The topic was "cyber morality". Todays youth are very comfortable communicating in many different way on the internet. Unfortunately they need to be more educated in Cyber Morality. Cyber bullying and trash talking are the norm for many kids. It is very easy to do this because there is no personal contact and or threat. If the Cyber Bully were to be face to face as it was 10 to 20 years ago there would be less bullying because there is always the possibility of confrontation from the person being abused. I think the personal communication skills of todays youth is lacking because of the internet. It is a situation that we as educators need to always correct and be aware of. Our students personal communication skills will be as important if not more important then internet skills in the work force.

Hey Bill, I certainly see your concern and I agree. Although, I am not quite sure what you mean by the last comment you made. Are you referring to "personal communication skills" in all situations or face to face communication? I believe that with the advancement of technology we will once again be face to face with people we are communicating with. Please watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cf7IL_eZ38
