    I thought about giving my cats their own FB page, but if they got more friends than me I would be very disturbed by that!

    I met a woman who owned 2 mastiffs in a petstore. One of her dogs was so popular (he was a therapy dog) that he indeed DOES have his own fb page: http://www.facebook.com/people/Quincy-Mastiff-March/100001660537460 At first I a bit weirded out but then it really started to make sense because this does seriously has a following and she uses his personality to teach kids about animals, connect with folks for whom he's used as therapy dog, etc. It actually turned out to be really interesting! And WOW, that dog is really one of the most gorgeous, kind beasts (and this boy is HUGE) I've ever met.

    And...that dog has WAY more Facebooks friends than me...sigh. But, I am okay with that. At least he's doing something great. :o)

    My cousin's cat, Ben, has a FB page and so does my sister-in-laws dog. Ben's so popular around our town (he just wanders) that half the town is friends with him. I think its a bit wierd, but I find it highly entertaining when I get FB posts and messages from Pepper the dog.

    I never heard of this and had to look it up myself to believe it. It is a bit strange, but definitely entertaining.

    https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001827272353 That's the FB page for our dog Nanook - friend him if you'd like. My younger son started the page; he's kind of protective of the house and barks a lot so I find it amusing that my kids' friends wanted to be friends with him.

    If you don't have time to read, there's a video about the new school. I thought this was going to be a "distance learning" sort of school, but was glad to see that they simply have prioritized integrating technology into the school. This article is from 2009. I wonder how well the school is doing two years later?

    It will be even more interesting to see the effects once they move on to college and graduate. The kids seemed really excited about this new system too!

    Yes, very interesting.... I wonder if this might not be a new school media specialists opportunity.

    Teachers in favor of social media! It's not just technology, kids: it's an opportunity.
