Have you thought about using an online school site like Moodle? Moodle is a free, shareware program. I don't know how to do the set up, from a technological standpoint; however we use it in district to create a discussion board/chat room for both teacher groups and student groups.
I don't know if it would be enough like a face book or my space setting as, I must admit, I haven't gotten my feet wet there yet. But it might be worth looking into.

While thinking about character traits, I began to wonder about how a character may present themselves in a social networking environment. My kids love this idea and already have created the format. They are chomping at the bit to get going. Where could I safely launch it? I thought about using Pages, Publisher, Keynote or Imovie as a sort of faux site. But I want the kids to be able to respond to the message boards on a site... Keith...can it be done through our lit site somehow? I obviously cannot use myspace or facebook because they are blocked. Are there any thoughts on what we could add to this project? -- Tena _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
