Re: [LM_NET] Facebook

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

I agree
I have a Facebook page and I have reconnected with many of my friends from high 
school and have thoroughly enjoyed it!
However, I do not want any students that I would have seeing the information that I 
have posted or the conversations on my friends wall.
I agree we have to be knoweldgeable
 
but my pleasure activities are not befriedning students on facebook or myspace.
 
It is unprofessional

I have to disagree about the advice to stay completely away from Facebook.
That is where our students live. Many libraries have fan pages there. You
may want to refrain from having a personal page unless but you should be
aware of Facebook. I recently had the great pleasure to attend the WiredKids
Summit (thanks, Art Wolinsky), and I was on the receiving end of surveys and
presentations made by kids and for kids. Many were about Facebook and
aspects of its use. Here are some reasons to at least be familiar with
Facebook and how it works:
1. It is where many kids live. Malls and parks may be too dangerous for them
to venture alone also, depending on where you live and where they may go.
Would you stay away from malls and parks because bad things may happen
there?
2. If you are a parent, you need to be knowledgeable. By friending your own
offspring, and possible nieces, nephews, grandchildren, etc,. you can be
aware of this important part of their lives
3. How can you teach kids to be safe and smart if you are not up to speed on
what really matters to them regarding their online use? Studies show that
kids whose parents are online WITH them are much safer users than those who
just stay away.
4. Fear based instruction does not work for online safety than it does for
sex ed or driving or any other topic.
5. Read Nancy Willard's works on this topic.
