Review the widget you selected. Are you getting comfortable with embedding code? Do you belong to other online communities? Are relationships formed online as meaningful as face-to-face relationships? Why do you think Facebook and other social networking sites are so popular with kids today?
I just did a simple widget that countdowns the days left of my 8th graders middle school career. At this point embedding codes is very easy. Knowing the websites that provide the widgets to search is going to be the part that I will forget. I may have to put a link on my blog to link myself to them.
I do belong to Facebook and prior to that I belonged to MySpace. Obviously online relationships are not as meaningful as face-to-face relationships. I think that they are popular because they are easier and you can be involved in many at one time with the status feeds and what not. It is like talking to all of your friends at once. I also feel that for kids it has become a status thing...how many friends can I get...which I find a bit unhealthy. These social networks expand their students range of communication. People miles away can be involved with each other on a daily basis.
