Thing 12 - Blog Widgets

I though that this was one of the more frusturating assigments. I took me a while to make sense of things. There are so many different widget/gadgets. It took me a while to figure out how to format it on my page. I can't say that I am completely comforable with embedding codes, but it is getting easier.

Yes, I do belong to other online communities. I use facebook and speaking of speech often. I do not think that the relationships are as good as face to face, but it is a great way to keep in contact. That way when you do have time to meet face to face you know more about that persons daily activities. Many of my conversations are started by commenting on something I have seen other individuals  post online.

I think that social networking on the computer is a very dangerous thing for kids. I have some preteen nieces and nephews that go on facebook (etc) and have some seem some inappropriate things being said by both them and their friends. It almost seems like they feel safer saying things through the computer rather them face to face. It also seems to be a popularity thing....Who can get the most "friends" .But it appears that kids and technology just go together. Parent and teachers need to make sure that they are monitored closely.
