My latest find in the world of technology/web resources is 'Facebook'. My cousin's daughter, (23) registered me as a friend. I was flattered, but wary, as I ventured in to create an album of recent photos of a family function. It was slow - but worked, finally. As with most of these new-fangled sites, it was confusing navigating by following my nose, but I sort of suceeded. I also had a play with Myspace and U-tube today.
At least I have a feel for how they work and the sort of information included. Not all that relevant for a fifty-something librarian...
They will, however be useful in the school context where I work. Teenagers will be extremely 'engaged'. There is lots of scope for writing and media activities. In the classroom situation I can see students teaching teachers about some procedures and features.
