5. Emerging Problems [email_address] Online Bullying/Mobbing Copyright issues and plagiarism Information with different quality is available (how to know what is good/bad?) Teachers don’t know how to handle ICT in their classrooms => reaction: usage is not allowed at schools, BUT: “ sopa problemet under mattan ” Teachers assume that Social Media is not useful in their domain => Wrong assumption! (Today, we would never say that eMails/DMS are not useful) Many people understand virtual worlds as not real => Wrong! Facebook, SecondLife etc. are examples for a social-constructed Technology-mediated reality. Social media matters for people who communicate via the Internet.
