MySpace Pimping
I've been talking a lot lately with folks about using MySpace training in the library to teach information fliuency and internet safety skills. I know of a few libraries that have offered "Pimp Your MySpace" courses to attract teens into the library. While teaching stuff that excites them, clever asiudes on privacyt, appropriate use, etc are added. Courses entitled "MySpace and Teens" or "Internet Safety Skills" are for parents and definitely uncool to the target market.
Pick and learn a few MySpace tricks and set up a short course in your computer lab. Most folks are tiring of the standard look and feel and want to be individual and unique. How do you learn to pimp MySpace you ask?
Check out this blog posting: "BunnyHero Labs - The Massive MySpace Phenomenon You’ve Never Heard Of"
For more ideas, search Google for "myspace tips", "myspace backgrounds" or "myspace toolbox" , myspace tricks", or even "myspace how to". You'll find loads of free and fee resources and ideas.
