Day 17 [3/23/10]

Today we became part of a social network called Bruceton's Five. We made ourselves a profile that included the magazine cover that we designed and a miniautobiography. This miniautobiography was a really neat way to communicate information about ones self to other students using this site. I feel that this helps students develop competencies in the Partnership for 21st Century Skills standards for (ICT) Information, Communication & Technology because it helps them understand the use of technology and the ways that it helps us interact with each other. This helps them manage things in their lives by using one of their favorite tools, a computer! I know that I feel better when typing out something abuot myself, finding pictures that go well with the topics I am talking about, and finding out other information about my fellow peers and friends. The Ning website was really fun and interesting, and I am sure that younger students feel the same way.
