I really liked the Facebook lesson from the beginning of the chapter. What i thought was really great about it was that when the teachers commented, they didn't just say things like "good point", they played devils advocate. And what was really cool was that since these questions weren't being asked in class, so it gave the students more time to think of a response, or to do a little more research (since they were already on the internet) and can get more information on their own. I really liked that the teacher exposed them to extremist opinions as well, since when extremists of any kind come up in class its almost like a discussion at a safe distant, where as when they are commenting on your page, it closes the gap.

The one thing that i wasn't too sure of was the hybrid course. I think that would work with college students, but i didn't quite grasp how it would work in a high school setting. Do the students just not go to class? Was it in the morning so they can just come in late? I took college courses in high school, where the prof came to our classroom twice a week, so i was able to come in for second period on monday, wednesday, and friday, so that is the only way i can think of to make the Hybrid Course work.
