Doctors Orders: Social Media, Children, and Adolescents - 1 views

  •  
    Really interesting article/video about the University of Kentucky's Children's Hospital child and adolescent behavioral health therapist and associate director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine and their views on social media and kids
  •  
    Thank you, Diana! This is very interesting! It is funny that part of their advice to parents is "Surf the web together with your child - there's a lot your child can teach you." I was expecting it to say something about parents teaching kids to proper ways to surf. LOL

    This is an interesting overview of the Norton Online Living Report. It touches on a lot of things we have discussed in class.

    Something very interesting about this 'report' is that I cannot get to the actual report. Makes me wonder. Each link I find to the report gives me a problem loading. I would really like to see what this report says!

Going Paperless in the office - 0 views

  •  
    The question of documents dying is a topic discussed in Ambient Findability. Documents can be viewed in print and online. This is an interesting article about how an office might go about being paperless. It is a complex idea because offices are known to be full of papers and documents. However, this may be a more "green" option but harder to adopt.

    Amazon introduces the Kindle that lets you share ratings of and highlighted passages from books you've read with your friends through social media networks, and introduces "Kindle Singles" -- "short stories written by well known authors and published electronically by Amazon that come at a cheaper price than full-length books," for our shorter attention spans.
