Living and Learning in Central Oregon

This question was recently asked to some middle school students in the area by our local newspaper.  They printed the responses of six of the students and ALL of them said they accessed some sort of internet/web resource to keep up on current events.  Google, YouTube, email, and MySpace were just some of the sources of information they used to keep up on the headlines. 

 Question – as teachers are we using these resources to keep current?  Are we using them to communicate and teach?
