Quest 9: Wiki, Wiki, What?

So far the Wiki craze is not working for me. I did not really appreciate the sites. The Princeton Wiki was okay but not attention grabing. I lost interest quick. Library Success was more interesting. I like how they are trying to form a Librarian network of ideas. I think it is a wonderful idea. I like learning about new ways to promote reading and library participation.

Quest 8: social networking sites

This site "Social Networking Sites" has a lot of information but it is not set up for kids. I got bored reading it. A teenager reading this will not be able to get the gist because they would have fallen asleep. The info is helpful but ineffective if it is not readable.
"How to talk to talk to young people about socializing safely online" is a great start for adults who do not know how to approach online safety to youngsters. I like how they broke down the issues that should be addressed as well as the links to other agencies to help adults educate tweens and teens on how to protect themselves.

This was just so relaxing just to look at that I had to share it with everyone.
