themselves for three different social networks: 1. A school social
network where teachers, students, and parents communicate 2.A
social network where you connect mainly with friends and people you
know 3. Second Life (www.secondlife.com), where you communicate
mainly with people you dont know in real life You will create these

social network site. You DO NOT have to really create these
accounts. For each avatar write a 5 sentence explanation about why
