      communication scene

      Gadgets are changing how we do things, but that’s not all. They’re also

      changing how we express ourselves and spend time together. Words like

      friend and chat have whole new meanings in the digital world. Words

      like blog and e-mail have been created to name technologies as they’ve

      been invented. A girl can shine on the online stage in many more ways

      than before, but the technologies and sites you can use depend on how

      old you are.

      Send

      an e-mail

      For short messages, texting

      is great. But to really connect,

      type and send a letter-like

      e-mail—with pictures—to

      a friend or family

      member.

      Chat

      via video

      Too far away to meet

      in person? Turn a

      face-to-face convo

      into a screen-to-

      screen chat.

      Share

      something

      With the OK from your

      parents, write a post, take

      a pic, or shoot a video, and

      share it with your friends

      using an app added to

      your device.

      Blog about it

      A blog is like an online journal

      that you give permission to

      certain people (such as your

      family) to read. With help from

      a parent, write posts about a

      project you’re researching or

      a good cause you’re

      supporting.

      Launch an IM

      Want to get a group

      chat going? Invite your

      friends, classmates, or

      family members to

      an instant-message

      group.

      Run for the world!

      connected classroom

      If you’ve ever searched online for Rosa Parks facts for social studies,

      prepped for a multiplication test using an online math game, or set

      up your erupting-volcano science fair project with tips from an online

      tutorial, then you already know there’s tons to learn in the digital world.

      As you work your way to the head of the class, these other ways of

      tapping into technology can also help you make the grade.
