I think it is for me, the fact that these technologies wouldn't be appropiate in the classroom. It would take away from the learning process, which is already complicated when you have to deal with the disciplining sudents, most of the time. Also it would cause students to become distracted, in a sense that if you did give an assignment for your class ( high school) to maybe twitter about a field trip that they went on the other day. I could see this leading to become a distraction, because they will open a "new tab" where they will be switching back in forth between facebook and twitter, instead of focusing on their assignment. Also another factor is that, if your working in a elememtary school, not all students have access to computers or/and internet in their homes, and may can not go to the library. Thus you have to limit the technology into classroom only, meaning no homework assignements requiring interenet and/ or computer. Another fact is that my content area is special education-elementary, so how would twitter, facebook or cellphones be of benefit in the classroom, I really don't know.
