Thing 3

I'll have to admit that I'm anit-social when it comes to social networks. My distant friends are frustrated with me because I don't have a facebook page. I think if all of this technology had happened when I was younger I would've been more open to it. I've just seen all the negatives and frankly some people put some really stupid and inappropriate stuff on there! It just doesn't appeal to me at the most social level. Random folks will send me facebook posts containing pictures of my athletes doing inappropriate things. We now have a rule in our discipline policy pertaining to inappropriate internet activity. I'm just not a facebook kind of person -- so I opted for Twitter. I can see using Twitter a great deal in the network of athletics and coaching. We will Tweet our scores, our stats, updates from tournaments, etc. I kind of like Twitter and am eager to read and learn more so that I can understand the terminology and "rules". I'm still trying to figure out how it works on my iphone. And according to one of the articles, young people don't get into Twitter so I assume I will have to ask most of our athletes to open Twitter accounts. But it sounds much easier than sending out multiple text messages when I need to get in touch with the whole group. So, I'm still researching it and am very interested in it as a way to communicate with my staff and kids.
