Ways in which children communicate online.

 

There are two things that we need to accomplish here. First of all add to our list of ways to communicate online. Secondly skim through the Pew Research link and afterward post your thoughts on our message board.

 

By Monday February 2, please contribute an item to the following list. If someone already took yours, that's o.k. You don't have to put your name, just put an item on the list. Here is what the list will contain, ways that children (including teens) communicate online. You don't need to be fancy, let's just make a list. What you will do, choose the Edit Page button (log in if necessary) and add an item to the list by going to the end of last item on the list and then hitting enter on your keyboard and then type your response. Thanks.

 

Let's compile the list!

Finally, visit the following link to the Pew Research on how teens manage their online identies. After looking over the research paper, visit our course message board to post your comments to my questions there.
