Hi I am a primary teacher currently working on Palm Island. I thought I would share some experience that I have had using communication tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Windows Live Gallery. I have been using these tools extensively over the past term as a means to keep in contact with family and friends. I know that they are not always readily accessible at schools, but they are the kinds of things that alot of our students are using on a daily basis.

I have been a facebook user for a couple of years now but I have become a heavy user since moving back to Palm Island and in some ways would be lost without it. I find it great for keeping in touch with family and friends, sharing toughts and feelings and also photo's of my experiences. [] Link to join Facebook.

I have recently started using Twitter. What is Twitter? It is great tool for stalking celebrities! lol. It is a tool similar to facebook that shares what you are doing with your friends. [] Link to join Twitter.

Windows Live Gallery is a tool that helps store and organise digital galleries. It involves tools that help improve you photographs by cropping and adjusting, even starightening shots that are crooked. The feature that I love is that it can automatically upload your albums to Facebook, saving time as it does it heaps quicker than the actual Facebook application that is available on Facebook.
