You are absolutely correct in that how should be teach socially acceptable use of technology if we can't use it with our students. Back in the fall in there was a child killed at a CD-release party that was advertised through mySpace. There were many editorials about mySpace and the tragedy that unfoled but folks failed to realized how schools could be used has instruments of social change by teachng students how to use the media responsiblly as well as the dangers that lurk out there. Yes, there are dangers out there on the Internet but like Drug Education, if you don't talk about it, I feel more people become victimize by not having access to it to know the good from the bad. So much for global collaboration.... I think everyone is a little surprise by this legislation.
