#18 Social Networks

I felt very uncomfortable with MySpace. This is the one that I hear elementary students talking about and having their own "space". I went to Facebook, www.facebook.com. To me this site seemed more in my comfort zone. We need to know about these spaces as the kids are already here, sometimes without supervision. Reading some of their "space" lets you know what is going on in their lives, what they are thinking and doing. Sometimes a whole new side of a child. I will limit the readers to my site; however, I did like looking for former classmates. I have lived several places, even Germany, and it is nice to connect with former high school friends. This would make it easier to possibly find someone instead of using switchboard for the entire US. At this time, I don't see a school or library application.

What about an online space similar to MySpace where students can meet to collaborate on projects and assignments?
