I think that social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook are a good idea for school. People can discuss topics for class and ask questions which can get answered. These sites also give people the freedom to be creative. As long as they don’t abuse the blogging sites, then it should be okay.

Somehow time I climbed on is not present and, asking questions, found interesting and not so interesting answers. One of which was – « FailureAccident on the Chernobyl atomic power station, 4 power unit ». I became interesting and thumbing through sites was simply horrified. One I the fellow worker, in the past the meter man, has told about the friend which was the liquidator of consequences of this failureaccident, the truth or not I do not know. But spoke that – « firemen which extinguished a fire there, by turns washed in a showersoul groups, and muzhiks because of an irradiation were shone in darkness, but to live ithim remains few hours ».

Being a school administrator myself, I see why district’s are afraid of this technology. I also am a mother of a 15 yr. old and 8 yr. old and know that social networking is huge right now and what better way to keep what your kids are doing in check but by being on the network yourself and using the tool for what it is: an outlet for communication.

With your child, a teacher, a community etc… Yes, you take the bad with the good but if you pay attention to what is going on in your child’s life and get involved you can be plugged in too. I have a My Space page and also Facebook.

Who the study is funded by makes little difference, anyone who has kids in school knows that the numbers are there and it is worth looking into if you want to know what your kids are doing. Our public school district is working on creating a network of our own that parents, kids and teachers can all use and communicate better and for education purposes and to obtain feedback on issues and get the word out to the general community. I am excited to be involved with the project. How great would it be to have a school sponsored social network that can be a tool for learning and dialogue? There is good and bad with everything and just like before the net we had other arenas for the bottom dwellers of the world, the net has them too and that is why parents need to accept that they need to just PAY ATTENTION and listen to their children.

“There have been many TV specials on how blatant and common it is for would be child molesters to contact children and try to meet with them for illicit activities via social networking sites”

But none on other ways this happens, and always has happened, even before the net? Let’s ban bus stations, shopping malls and several large religious institutions.

Interesting / I have no comment to Elton John, however, I am very glad that the Internet is back to schools again.

1. I believe that censorships in general create ignorance and more problems.

2. The affirmative action cultivate people to think about the concept of races–a concept that I have not even considered when I grow up.

3. Positive psychology–reward the good actions rather than penalize the bad actions–has been proven to be effective on kids (it also works on dogs, as I’ve discovered)

What is additionally interesting is how this study is funded by three players who have invested heavily on Internet technologies: Microsoft, News Corporation, and Verizon.

Lobbyists…
