Thing #20

Social Networking - I loved the library20.ning http://library20.ning.com/ because it had so many more links connected to just this one site. Once you start exploring...it takes away your time and it's hard to stop. I thot I'd explore the blog post "web toys I'm playing with...". It was great! It took me to www.comigs.com , a place to create and share your comic style stories. I have the perfect 13 year old for this. He loves to write stories, songs, etc. so I'm putting him to the test of this website to see what he can create. I know social networking is a growing concern but there is upside to when someone can reach across vast distances to communicate and share. Students are strong believers in the power of technology to enrich their learning experiences. Are they no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach? I wonder.
