The class seems interesting, like we’re going to learn a lot of new things. Right now though it seems a little over whelming looking at all the assignments. Im sooo glad that we don’t have to go downtown twice a week!!! I mean it’s nice to go downtown, but not when you have to get up super early and take the stinky old train. Word of advise the 4:30 train is the worst!!!

I only became part of the whole online social network about 2 -3 years ago. At first I wasnt that into it, but now im on it like everday!!! I even get status updates from facebook sent to my cell lol yes im that addicted!!! Its just so super easy to see what your friends are up to without having to go to their house, now im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing?

Back on topic…I love   facebook! I only became apart of facebook about 2 -3 years ago. Now all of my friends are on it and it’s just so convinent to know what everyone’s up to when ever I want!!! Its nice that I dont have leave my house to know whats going on, but some might say that thats a problem…not really socializing? Me and my friends uaually plan things on there anyways so maybe it has its pros and cons. As I was reading the article ” Why youth heart social net working sites” I thought of my sister. Shes one of the few people that I know that wont make a facebook page or myspace, ect… She says that its a “government conspiracy”  because they can know what your doing, who your friends are, ect…I was like come on your not a gangsta lol. I dont think that there is anything wrong with social networks like  myspace or any of the many other ones out there. I think it gives kids a place where they can express themselves, and its also a place of their own. As long as it isnt abused, or used for bullying. Parents should have some control over the computer and what their kids are doing on it, but i also believe that parents should give their kids some level of privacy! I never got into twitter especially adding all these famous people…i dunno if its just me but i dont really care what they think or have to say, would they add me and read my tweets? Probably not. I prefer seeing and knowing what my friends are up to!

I started reading rethinking technology in schools and I couldnt believe Julie Amero’s story!!! Being arrested for pop up’s is ridiculous!!! Im not sure what schools should do about this, because its something that could happen to anyone, makes me kinda nervous that something like that could happen to me.
