[senit] social interaction via technology

Definition of learning difficulties may be the issue 

But examples include youtube, MSN, Skype, email 

All of which are used by people with LD - also think about online gaming
such as xbox360 or wii to see how social interactions can be based on
activity rather than text etc

hi the Byron report says that much of teenager's
social interaction with peers is mediated by
technology, rather than being face to face. Have you
got any examples of students with learning
difficulties interacting with adults or peers via
technology in this distance sense? And any comments?
David
