Is Ask.fm Evil or AWESOME? Social media Q& A anonymous site w/ FB & Twitter integration
Ask & Answer is HUGE & growing w/ US kids because of the anonymity - AND because parents and grownups don't know much about it. There has also been some reports of suicide due to cyberbullying on it. Before parents, teachers, or admin freak out about it - check it out.
I also see how this could be used by the savvy teacher or librarian to get feedback but that would or could also turn dicey. You now CAN block & report users making bad choices & delete spam or inapropriate answers - but you can never find out who wrote them. That's the kid allure.

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin attended the late "Sopranos" actor James Gandolfini's funeral Thursday morning, but while they were among mourners at the New York City church, Hilaria's Twitter account appeared to remain active.
GwynethJones's insight:
--Cautionary Tale! Be careful & mindful WHEN you Tweet! Even if you're patiently & quietly waiting in a meeting, or heaven forbid a funeral -- even if you're trying to assuage your ADD, it just looks plain TACKY And with timestamps you are sure to be caught Tweet handed!

All Hands on Deck Social Media - translates to schools & districts, too!
What would happen if ALL teachers teachers POSITIVELY blogged, Tweeted, or shared the triumphs of their kiddos & classrooms just ONCE A WEEK? Or ONCE A DAY?
What would the community learn? What would the kids feel?

I had facebook. Then I shut the account down. And then I opened it again, mostly because I wanted to be able to communicate with a core group of friends often- sharing photos, jokes and stories quickly. I like to believe that is why my 14 year old son just asked to open an account. My response- sure but you have to friend me. I need to be able to see what is on your account at all times. And then I read this article and bam! I realize there is a way around everything. I just really want my children to use technology safely. I do not want it to be used at inappropriate times nor to interrupt their learning. The minute I see bullying or inappropriate comments or anything of that nature, is the minute I take it all away. I just want my kids and students to be healthy functioning adults. I think part of this is having the flexibility and freedom to express themselves and learn about social media.
