Social Network Sites

July 19, 2008 janesnowboy

My students are not of age to participate on the social networks. They are still very young to use those sites. The age group is between five to six years old. They probably don’t know how to use the online communities. At our school the elementary and the secondary share the computer lab. There’s not enough room in the schedule for my students. I can’t take my students to the computer lab. And plus the Cree School Board has blocked all of these sites. The students at our school can’t use these sites.The only place that I see teenagers using these site is at home. I have five teenagers at home and they are always on the computers at home. they take turns and sometimes I can’t use the computer myself. It is a good thing my kids are patient or it would be hell inside my home. The main site that they are always on is Bebo, MSN Messenger, and Windows Messengers.One of daughter likes to chat and talk on the phone at the same time. If the cellphones worked in our community I think she would text message her friends while she was doing the other things. My five kids all have bebo accounts. They have over two hundred friends in their bebos and they also so included me as their friend on bebo. This a great way to communicate with each other. Like if they are too shy to say something to somebody. They can say on bebo and they can use pictures with it. This the place where my daughters say things to me ,when they are to shy to say it me. My daughters think they are too old for hugs and kisses. My sons still show some emotions to me. They learn a few things from the bebo site. It helps them with their reading and writing.They can change and they can make their own bebo skins. This kind of activity teaches them about art and math. They do some searches on the google network. This helps them do the research on the sites and there a few thing that they didn’t know about.This keeps them busy for a few hours, but it doesn’t interrupt their daily chores. I think the Cree School Board should put back the thing that were on the computers. The students will learn many things with the different sites on the web.
