According to this AP story at CNN.com, a student at Ryerson University is in big trouble from school leaders for organizing a study group, where students swapped tips on homework.
“Say what?” you think. How can that be bad? Well, you see, he did it on the popular networking website Facebook.
Still don’t get it, huh?
Yeah, me neither.
Kim Neale of the student union, who will represent Avenir at the hearing, says the incident has sent shock waves through student ranks.
Neale told the Toronto Star the Facebook site is no different than any study group working together on homework in a library.
I wonder if this is a case of college leaders being behind the times and not understanding the social media model that most students interact in every day without thinking twice.
