…the person behind the tool

Chatroulette  has been considered (and rightfully so) a website that has really no redeeming qualities.  You are more likely to see something inappropriate on that site then not.  There is nothing that could be taken from this site that would be beneficial to students in schools (other than what NOT to do).

As Chatroulette has been blasted in the media for in being inappropriate, I was surprised to come across this video that made me smile:

When we look at all of the bad things that happen on websites, we have to always remember that it is not the tool that is causing the problem, but the person behind it.  They choose the inappropriate behaviour  and that should always be addressed.  Although the above video is was probably meant to bring fame to the group singing, the message is sweet and has brought a smile to probably over a million people.  That is a good thing.

Let’s make sure we also talk about the person and the behaviour before we talk about the tool.
