ICT 2013 – Pastoral
August 25, 2008 – 11:10 amSome students can fall prey to addictions fed through online means:
Computer Games
What happens when a teenage boy plays the online game “World of WarCraft” until it becomes for him “World of WarCrack”?
Social Networks
Similarly, do you know people addicted to Facebook, Bebo or MySpace?
Entertainment
Even the lure of amusement can distract people.
The Pastoral Big Question
If…
- students will gravitate to online experiences and,
- the best antidote to getting lost in these attractions is for individuals to have a meaningful life…
what should Oxley College and its teachers do to increase
students’ meaningful engagement in life?
