Mrs. Olson is Catching Up!
All the 6th graders seemed to be ahead of me with technology! I hadn’t used instant messenger since my early college days and hadn’t gotten into text messaging due to the cell service plan I have. Well, this weekend I started using both IM and texting to collaborate with a teacher in Alabama on a blog project we’re creating for elementary school students. I’m interested in hearing how you use IM and texting - is it just for social things with friends, or do you use it to keep in touch with family and for work on homework with friends?

Hello from Australia!!
I send text messages, post messages on blogs and wikis and my daughter is constantly trying to get me to use the emoticons on MSN! It is summer holidays in Australia at the moment so I am spending a bit of time chatting with teachers all over the world too with tools like Skype and other teacher chat spaces. The internet is a wonderful way of making the world ‘flat’, nowhere is far away any more.
Happy New Year! :o)
I don’t really use text messenging however I am always on the computer talking through Instant messenger. When talking through IM I usually talk to my friends but my family on occasion. I talk to my friends about my social life not really h/w unless I was sick or missed an assignment.
HI i want guiter hero 3 but my mom said no because it is too much money.
I love using IM to talking to my friends! It is away to talk to them without waiting 10 minutes for them to reply to an email instead it only takes 2 seconds before you hear a response unless they are typing something long witch not alot of people do. They type stuff like ttly, brb, thx, and WAY more. I LOVE USING IM!!!
I use IM for talking to both friends and family. IM is not like e-mail where you type and wait for how long until they reply; plus you can us a mic. or a webcams or just type. IM ROCKS!!!
