Kids can do amazing things with Social Networks
Last night my 14 year old asks me in if we can make a web site. For what, I ask. For his XBox 360 gaming clan. Oh, hmm. Well I am not going to make one from scratch for you, I tell him.
I give it a little thought. And I suggest to him that he can make a site on
Ning
. But he has to figure it out on his own. He says ok. I give him the address.
After he asks a few questions of me that I refuse to answer he has a site up in a matter of 10 minutes. He continued tinkering with it last night and I checked it this morning. I was somewhat blown away with what he came up with.
I know it's probably just themes and such but I am still pretty impressed with what he was able to come up with in a couple of hours last night. I will be supervision him (if he knows it or not, although after his incident on MySpace I am sure he now knows that everything he does under our roof is monitored) as he runs this site on his own. Should be a good learning experience for him.
Here's the site if you'd like to see it.
