Re: [LM_NET] TARGET : ELEM Facebook

[Christine Rayl <cjrayl@YAHOO.COM>]

I, personally, would not encourage it nor would I use it with my students. However, 
I have created a blog for my boys' reading group and we post on that quite a bit 
about what we are reading, suggestions for future books, opinions, etc. There is 
also some commentary aside from our reading that takes place and since I can 
monitor all the posts before they appear, it works out quite well. Besides, the 
filters in our district do not allow access to facebook.

Reading is not a duty, and has consequently no business to be made disagreeable.
