This is a video from a news show in Chicago. Good one for parents to watch to see what kids are doing on facebook/myspace and to find out ways to protect them. I liked how the guy in the video said that kids don't just use it for social purposes, but that some of them have homework or school groups to help each other out. Even though that is probably 1% of teenagers it was still nice to see that aspect spoken about.

LOVE THIS ONE! Great site for parents to know how to keep their kids safe on facebook, and it is kind of a course on how to use facebook and how to access different things on your child's page. I might even need to read them so I know how to use facebook better!

This one talks about how students have bad social skills cause they spend so much time on the computer. I also loved the fact that there were a bunch of other articles that one could navigate to just like this article.

This was a very interesting article on using technology with young students. I have never taught kids that young so it was very eye opening. Also, I liked the points Dr. Perry made about making sure to use active technolgies rather than passive ones like TV.

This is all about using technology in the classroom and why it is a good choice.

This author of this article presents different topics and gives pros and cons to all of them. She kind of plays devil's advocate, which helps the reader to see each side of the argument.
