Welcome everyone!

I'd like to address the current discussion about Internet Safety by addressing social media. To start, I've shared an online paper I've created using a tool called Paper.li. It is called Social Media and Youth Safety and you can access the 7/25/11 issue here: http://paper.li/f-1311219698/2011/07/25

Using social media to gather snippets of articles is one way to manage all your incoming information. The online paper is easy and free to create. To start, you must log in with a Twitter or Facebook account. After creating a title, you can pull information in from your social media using #hashtags or key words. After selecting whether you'd like to generate the paper weekly, daily or have an evening and morning edition, you are ready to View.

Once you view your paper for accuracy, you can share. Subscribe to any paper by clicking on the Subscribe button. You'll be notified every time a paper has been created. It's easy!

If you create a paper or find one you love, please share it with our group!

In the meantime, if you have a few minutes and want to browse, here are two of my favorites!
