Facebook… where does the time go?
I am totally enjoying my participation in SLJ’s All Together Now project! I haven’t exactly followed the steps in order, so last night I went back to Thing 8 – Social Networking. One of the suggested activities was to join Facebook, which I had been hesitant to do. Aren’t I too old for Facebook? Apparently, the answer is a resounding no.
I have been a member for less than twenty-four hours and I am already friends with two of my favorite authors, some much admired fellow librarians, and have discovered an old college classmate who is running for state senator! This is so much fun! I am operating on less than 6 hours of sleep because I was setting up my profile.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised to discover many legitimate professional groups and fellow librarians here. I’ve been wanting to be able to offer parent classes on social networking and I think it will be much easier if I have a presence of my own to use as an example. Knowing what’s here will also help me address internet safety issues with the children using actual examples.
Summer ends in three days. I’ve learned so much, but now I have to get back onto a school schedule. That means it’s bedtime. NO MORE FACEBOOK TONIGHT!
