Social Networking Guide for Parents

Submitted by alex.ragone on Friday, 3 April 2009One Comment

As part of my regular professional development, I have a group of education technology professionals I follow on Twitter.  Through following this group of people, I learn about what they are reading and viewing and how they are applying this to their schools.

facebook-good-badOne site that came up recently is Facebook for parents by BJ Fogg, Professor at Stanford University.  I thought that this site was informative and has a realistic view of social networking for parents.

Social networks are here to stay.  Our job is to help our children make good decisions about how the use them.  I encourage you to discuss social networking use with them.

Here are a few videos of Professor Fogg from the Stanford Facebook Fan Page that you might find interesting:

BJ Fogg to the very first Stanford Open Office Hours. The conversation starts here (part 1), continues here (part 2), and finishes here (part 3).
