"Pupils to study Twitter and blogs in primary schools shake-up"

Primary schools in England are looking to the future in a revamp of their curriculums.

The new plans would require students to learn about Twitter, Wikipedia, blogging and other social networking sites as a part of the curriculum. Students would also learn history in the context of its chronology, with the goal being that students could place their historical/cultural knowledge in the context of what led to it, what happened after it, etc.

There would also be a component of the curriculum that would focus on a broad health and well-being program, including how to deal with peer pressure and bullies.

While this new curriculum seeks to be progressive, the government is concerned that it will look like they are trying to scrap the old educational format.
