'Log Them In' Web 2.0 for Education Song

On Twitter I am @steve_collis. I wrote a fun song about using Web 2.0 tech to give our school students a way of having a voice, contributing to global society, creating, composing, and being empowered.

Lyrics of the Song:
Our hustle bustle world is spinning in infinity
With multifarious ways of reconnecting to each other such as Facebook

The God of Pedagogy doth demand that we devote ourselves
To leading on our young ones so they thrive in this connected world of Facebook

The four walls of our classroom hold the roof up, keep us warm and shut us in,
But as Shakespeare said about the Web The worlds a stage log on, perform, promote, engage, The worlds a stage, dont lock your daughters up, just log them in.

Our students have so much to say, to offer, give, compose, create,
The internet provides the perfect platform for empowering kids to take the lead, define a voice, contribute something, something useful, something else than whats on ratemypoo.com

Its the Wild Wild West, the Wild Wild Web, were well aware of lurking dangers,
Students must be guided, trained, equipped, instructed, left to wander,
They should seize their salad days, surf the web, avoid the rips, and make a page, avoid the rocks, and make a betterworld.com
