Think.com is another great site. Someone will have sign up to be the "manager" for your school, but it creates personal pages with individual passwords and everything. It monitors everything the kids put on their pages, including language. You can even look at other students' pages from around the world.
>>> "Mohrhauser, Sarah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/14/2008 2:19 PM >>> 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.

Grace Slick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TLP Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 11:54 AM To: MT; Lit Site Subject: [LIT] Face-Book Report We complete a couple "book reports" per school year and I was thinking about how to set a project up that would be authentic. 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.
