Thing 12
I feel secure when it comes to embedding code onto my blog. I chose this widget because learning different languages has always been an interest of mine. I think my blog followers might find it interesting too. I can also share this with my students as well.
I do belong to Facebook. I only have friends on Facebook that I know personally, so I feel that being able to communicate online helps me to stay up to date with all the current events in my family and friend's lives and vice versa. I feel that I have more contact with them, via FB than I would have normally. Therefore, I think online relationships can be as meaningful as face to face relationships.
I think kids today like online communities because the Internet gives them a medium to express themselves and communicate with others in an instant. When I was a kid, I would spend hours talking on the phone to one or two people, today kids can spend hours on the computer talking to several people at the same time. I think kids enjoy feeling "connected" to the world through the Internet.

The internet has opened up so many avenues for receiving and posting information. A friend of mine is posting her vacation on her FB. So far she has shared her adventures in words, pictures and video to all of her family and friends without making numerous calls, getting pictures and videos developed and making copies. Although I would rather travel, it is so nice to be able to see the sites on FB. Maybe this could be a way to share fieldtrips with the students and/or classes that cannot attend.
