    An brief article cautioning with interesting statistics about the number of teens who use blogging on a regular basis. Might have some implications for introducing and educating students about blogging into the classroom.

    This is an interesting article about the small percentage of teens 13 to 17 that are blogging. According to the Millennials reports, although social networking sites have increased, they are more interested in text messaging than twittering or blogging. The author suggest that "Understanding why teens go online, and what tools they use, can give teachers clues into how they conduct research, and even complete homework". This is something to consider

      Great idea!
  • "These conversations and activities can be really important, and can teach students valuable critical skills: how to find information online, how to examine the accuracy and source of information they find online, and how to be not only consumers of information, but active participants in creating it."

      Finding information on-line is a learned skill of knowledge. Examining the accuracy and source of information is one of the highest critical thinking skills, which develops with time, experience, and rich schemata.

      The teachers are as good as the researches, since we have to keep up with the teens, and the technologies.
  • Social media tools hold great potential for developing important proficiencies that have to do with communicating and expressing ideas and thoughts, conducting research, and accessing and creating knowledge.

    The article uses a friendly approach to help teens stay safe and for parents (adults) to understand how to change privacy settings. There is a series of videos (11) to help learn more about social networking and how to check yourself it something doesn't seem right. The article also demonstrates the use of protection your personal property from hackers and spammers.  I personally think the article does a great job using the friendly approach with teens, and using videos, and teens will click on a video than read an entire article.

    This site offers a number of websites to help learn how to use and how to be safe while networking. Some of the sites are aimed at teens, others at adults (parents and/or teachers). Most sites include videos. I like the site as a first step to put one on the road to being saavy or literate on the web when using social networks.

You'll also find the latest related news, with "commentaries" written by both staff and guest experts covering various legal, social, and safety issues. Of special interest: the commentaries on age verification and cyberbullying.

    In Web 2.0 classrooms, teachers encourage students to use social networking for collaborative work. This article delves into the issue of safety in regards to social networks. It provides five links to websites, which help students become aware of the possible dangers of social networking. The article summarizes the different links, discussing the particular purpose and audience of the linked site. Some the sites even provide resources for parents and teachers.

    This article covers the challenges and opportunities of code switching in digital spaces, at home and at school with students today. At the end of the article, the writer provides some classroom strategies to help students adapt in this 'code switching'. One suggestion is the use of a tool called TodaysMeet (http://todaysmeet.com/about), which seemed like an interesting concept.

    This is an article about a 15-year old student that gave a speech to 3,000 teachers, principals and other administrators about implementing Twitter and Facebook in schools. She gave the keynote address at the conference. At the conference the tables were turned ,the student became the teacher. The adults were taught how to sign up for Twitter accounts, tweet and use hashtags. This fits in with our weekly topic of creativity and innovation as teacher now became the student. The student was teaching what she knew best, this helps to foster communication. This was a creative way to engage adults.
