**On-line Communities**
& Students: I have psted the four links on my wiki: the first two are reflections by the same writer on her Facebook experience: [|http://www.boundlessline.org/2007/11/looking-narciss.html.] http://www.trueu.org/dorms/stulounge/A000000817.cfm

As well, //Pew Trust// does fascinating data gathering and their //Internet and American Life Project// has some things that really make me think about the implications for our students. The first is a report on how parents and teens view digital technology: http://pewinternet.org/PPF/r/225/report_display.asp. The second is a reflection on strangers contacting tenns who have an on-line profile: http://pewinternet.org/PPF/r/223/report_display.asp. These and other reports are significant in how they challenge our conventional wisdom and thinking.

Here is a book (slightly dated 1996) from the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychology entitled **Teaching Cultural Diversity in a Virtual Classroom** http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-19105434.html This article from Science Daily (an on-line resource to the science community regarding research and such) reports the significance of establishing trust on-line, especially in an educational setting. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/06/050602095433.htm

Tim's Resources:
[[[|http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/techtorial/techtorial101.shtml**|**http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/techtorial/techtorial101.shtml]**]] This is a good resource that could be handed shown to teachers that are not familiar with social bookmarking like we have become. It references the Del.icio.us so is very familiar to us by now.

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/33078.html This is an article by Tom Ferguson the director for ecumenical and interfaith relations at the Episcopal Church. The more interesting part of the article for me was near the end which is where he started discussing a topic similar to the one we have been engaging in for this class.**

Debbie's Resources:
Debbie's links to help you build your own websites. I suggest you check them out. Also, find some sites in other school districts or churches that you like, and contact them to discover who they use as their base program in designing their site. These are a few programs that I've found in my research. Some of these are used for both churches and schools.
