Schools and Online Networking

Hello King families,

I hope summer is going well for everyone. It is for me. Nothing beats spending time with my family!
Coming up in August, I co-teach a graduate class for EMU. As part of the class, I've run across an online article that might be useful to parents. It is about websites that provide online social networking environments (like myspace.com or xanga.com). It is important for parents to understand these environments because even fourth and fifth graders use these sites nowadays. It made me think of how different the issues are around raising and educating children than they were just five years ago.

Here is the link: http://www.education-world.com/a_issues/issues/issues423.shtml or click here.

Looking forward to seeing you in the fall . . .

Sincerely,
Kevin Karr
