Introduction

• What do they all have in common? What are social networks? Who can register on social networks?

- definition Social networks are websites on which anyone can register, create content, communicate with others users etc.

Group work

• team work – everyone can contribute to the discussion

• consider both the good and the bad sides of your topic

• don’t be afraid to ask

1. The best age to start using social networks

• We think that children younger than 12 need to learn how too use a computer in a good way. 

• We think that children younger than 10 should’nt use social networks without parents control.

• We think that parents should control the younger kids usage of social networks.

• If a website would be made for kids, we think games would be good to have. As well as a center of the  website, where people could post what they're doing.

2. Parents’ control• It is good when parents know what are

social networks• Some of us have parents for friend on

Facebook, but some of us don't have our parents for friends because they want to control what we do

• Our parents don't have our passwords because we need privacy

• Rules for 13-year-old children:1. Do not give your adress

• 2. Accepts only people do you know• 3. Not be on Internet more than one

hour• 4. Don't share your pesonal information 

with people that you doesn't know

3. Social networks in education

• The use of social networks could have a good or bad imapact for eduction. Good impack: the school is evoluating in technologie and is realizing that facebook has become a pert of teir life.

• Bad impact: the students will think that because the school is installing facebook, they will go more on it.

4. Communication online, privacy

• It is not risky to talk to strangers, its risky when we are going to meet strangers

• We should keep our privacy

5. Getting addicted to social networks

• Most of the social networks serve for fun, then for school and job.

• Our friends think that if we don’t have any social network, we aren’t strange.

• Someone who spends lot of time on social networks, they become stupid.

• We suggest our friends who spend lot of time on social networks that they must moving. For example: doing sports, ride a bike, playing football etc.
