Reaction to Facebook

What are my thoughts about my experience creating a Facebook page?

I am familiar with Facebook because my daughter is a freshman in college and it's the rage there. Everyone writes on her wall, and she responds to her friends. She had quite a photo album on her page. I like to look at it and see if there are any new photos. I just requested her to be my friend. I wonder what her reaction will be to that? My son told me not to do that to him because he will refuse me. "Mom, no one has their mother as a friend on Facebook!!!!" He helped me tag my photos because I had never done that before. Now I understand the meaning of tagging.

It helps to apply the readings and actually be a part of the "new literacies." I never would have created this if I hadn't taken this course. I do email photos to my relatives and receive photos from them on a regular basis. I've always been interested in photography, and I love my digital camera. Now I store my photos on CDs. I even received a grant from the school district and have a digital camera to use at school including a photo printer. I display photos on my bulletin board at school that include the various social studies groups and their projects.

All in all, it was a fun experience creating a Facebook page.
