Why is it kids are so drawn to social networks sites like MySpace?If you can, get your hands on a copy of MySpace Unraveled: A Parent's Guide to Teen Social Networking; its a book every educator and parent should read about social networking.
Many books have been written about how -to use social networking, but this is the first book to discuss what social networking is, why these sites have become so popular with teens, and what you can do to help kids create safe constructive spaces online to learn from, and build interpersonal relations with their peers.
MySpace Unraveled by Larry Magid & Anne Collier will help you learn:
* The basics of online social networking.
* How children are using MySpace.
* Positive and negative aspects of social networking Web sites.
* Internet safety for kids.
* How to communicate with children about what they are doing online.
* What parental controls are available and how to use them.
Learning is social- kids like to socialize and 'hang-with' their friends online as well as in person.
