Teachers! Sign up for a myspace account today


Why should you get a myspace page from this much villified website? Here are my reasons:

1) To learn what it takes to "create" a myspace page and see what type of content a member can broadcast to the world.

2) To become aware of the security settings offered by myspace that may offer some privacy protection for members.

3) To secure your own myspace web address (like mine at http://www.myspace.com/rodmilstead)before one of your clever students grabs the address in your name and creates a teacher "parody" page. Think this doesn't happen? Myspace has a help section titled: How do we remove a teacher/faculty member's false profile?

4) To endure some of the tragic color combinations, design and information overload that is a hallmark of many myspace pages.

5) To experience one of the web's strongest social networking communities with a population larger than the combined population of CA, NY and TX combined.

Anything else? Add it to the comments for all to enjoy. Or go to myspace.com and get to work.
