What does it mean to have a friend, to poke someone, or to post on someone's wall? Whether it's Facebook, MySpace, or another site in the works, online social networking is here to stay. This session will give you the language you'll need to understand how today's teens and young adults are communicating with each other online. You will also look at some of the benefits and potential pitfalls associated with these sites, and briefly examine the implications they have for your work as Jewish communal professionals and the organizations you serve.
