Using Technology to Strengthen Family Ties - (USA)
……………………………… While it may seem like you’ve “lost” your teen to social technology, like Facebook or text messaging, a new report finds that this technology - namely the Internet and cell phones - is actually creating a “new connectedness” for American families. In particular, parents say cell phones allow their families to stay more regularly in touch. And many parents say they are now using the Internet to view material online together. Are you using technology to its best advantage? Before

Gaming Through Computer Networking - (USA)
One of the essential needs of mankind (other than food, clothing, and shelter) is entertainment. We have had many forms of entertainment since the dawn of the human race such as dancing, singing, chanting, and acting.

Why I Teach: Twitter Poll - (USA)
This morning, I asked my Twitter and blogging friends the simple question: Why do you teach? While most of the responses came in via Twitter (limited to 140 characters), some also came in through the comments. What I found in my nonscientific cross sampling of technolgically literate teachers was interesting. If you missed out on your chance this morning, feel free to add your own comments below!

Disney Cruise Line: Family Friendly Cruising (Pt. 3) - (USA)
This is part three in a six-part series reviewing my experience aboard the Disney Wonder. In January, 2009 I was invited to attend a Mommy Blogger Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Wonder. The event was sponsored by BSM Media and Disney. They paid for everything and wined and dined me within an inch of my life. However, the deal was that if I chose to write about the experience (hello? blogger?) I would be honest and completely transparent in my review. This series reflects my own opinions about

Planned parenthood.. Gift certificates.. Say Merry Christmas with an abortion? - (USA)
The name “Planned Parenthood” sounds so innocuous, you would think they are a benevolent ground that helps people with pregnancy and parenting.. right? They had become the “oh crap, I’m pregnant.. center”.. and now the “abortions for all” center. They have nothing to do with parenting, or healthy pregnancies, or birth control.. unless the birth control is after a woman (or too often, girl) is already pregnant. I think they should change their name to reflect their true intentions, “planned

MySpace: Your Child?s Safety - (USA)
Image via CrunchBase Unsupervised access to the internet is too dangerous no matter how much we trust our own children. There are just too many predators out there who are extremely good at what they do. And, its not just the adults we have to be leery of; peer bullying can be equally hazardous. Being online is second nature to our children and there are a lot of good things to be said about that. In fact, there are even good things to say about the social networking and vi

Surprised, she talked to M and told her that the only way she could keep her Facebook profile was if M added her as a friend. Her reply, “ But Mom! Now it won’t be private! ” My reaction after hearing that: NOTHING on the internet is private! Unfortunately not every parent is internet-savvy and they might

We continue to be shocked and amazed by the variety in the grocery stores. If only we could transport the smallest convenience store in the most podunk US town to our village in Africa we would feel rich beyond measure. We haven’t figured out what to do with TV. I love football and HGTV. The Extreme Foods show with Andrew Whatsisname was fun for a while but then it

The perfect geek age? - (USA)
Was being born in 1971 the perfect time to be born a geek? It meant I got to see Star Wars in the theater, 13 times, at ages 6 and 7, exactly when it would overwhelm my sense of wonder. I got an 8-bit computer at exactly the age when boys get obsessive about details, and I spent days PEEKing and POKEing and typing in listings from magazines and learning how computers actually worked . It meant at least half the new games I played were actually new ideas . And yet I got to play real

Kooky USB Drives – Review & Giveaway - (USA)
Computers are used in a teen’s everyday life. Homework, social networking, playing games, etc. I’m old enough that I remember using floppy disks in Jr. High and some of High School to store files and transfer them from my home computer to one at school. Then in college, I invested in a USB drive. It made transferring files, easier, the storage capacity was unreal, and it was smaller and easier to carry than a floppy. Kooky USB Drives, which are made by Emtec, are based off the Kooky Klicker

We sometimes feel the divide is so great that we simply stay in our familiar circles far removed from theirs. Sometimes our own judgments even keep us from seeing past the earrings and tattoos.
