School Me! Adventures in Education
I've read research about how many teens are online, blogging and doing God-knows-what, but frankly, I don't know which teens these stats are referring to. I've had the opportunity to talk with lots of young people in a variety of settings, and when I ask them how many are blogging or how many have their own webpages, I get blank stares. Usually, someone will pipe in, "Do you mean a MySpace page?"

***I have had the same experience as Diana. I asked these kids I am handling in college prep, and I am amazed that no one among them knew about the latest things in the internet. They don't know about rss, about the recent digg revolt. And then, i asked myself, "I thought these kids are always online?" My friend answered, "Yes, doing friendster and myspace".
