Had a great chat on second life with Valarie and Sandy. Discussed our jobs, what we all plan to do after the course, and the economy. How all school districts are in trouble, no matter where you are.
What are teachers supposed to do? With the advancement in technology, budget costs, how are teachers supposed to cope and teach and make great lessons, when there is not much money. I know there are sites out there to help teachers, such as donorschoose.org for one, or teachers can collect box tops, or coke rewards can also give prizes and gifts to students.
They is just my rant for tonight. Any suggestions?

Annotated Bibliography 2
Schmugar, Craig. (2008). The Future of Social Networking Sites. McAFEE Security Journal, 28 – 30.

This article discussed why these sites are growing so fast, as well as determining that an increase will also cause an increase in trouble. A few of the exploitable conditions are: spammers, hackers, and more threats, such as phishing attacks, worms, and leakage. In order for social network sites to have a future, the community needs to continue using. This is what drives the content; it is the combination of the elements within the community channels. The platforms will expand, specific sites will be understood based on behavior, and profiling will start to occur. With these big changes in the future comes both compelling information and threatening information.
What is the future of social networking sites? I personally do not think it will disappear anytime soon. They are a great way to keep in touch with others, meet new people who enjoy doing the same things, and exploring activities and past-times.

Teens & Social Networking in School & Public Libraries: A Toolkit for Librarians & Library Workers
www.ala.org/yalsa
This article/website I found basically shares with the audience how social network sites can be important for education. It provides reasons - saying it improves the students' reading & writings, for when the students create blogs and posts on other students' blogs.
It also provides reasoning for how students can communicate with legislators, in order to get access to the sites during school hours, by providing them with sufficient evidence.
