Why a Blog? • It’s free (http://www.blogger.com) • It’s easy to update. You can tag the entries • It’s searchable. • Your users can bookmark or subscribe to it. • You can embed videos easily from Youtube and other video sites. • Your teens canCOMMENT.
Commenting adds Conversation • For Them: • Teens get to weigh in on their views. • Letting them have a say shows that we are interested in what they have to say and that we value their opinions. • For Us: • We have an audience of loyal readers who can give us feed back. • Teens tell us what they like and what they don’t like. • We are able to ask them questions in a place where they are more likely to feel comfortable answering them.
Keep the Conversation Going with Videos Teen Volunteer! http://tatalonline.blogspot.com/2009/11/looking-for-something-great-to-read.html

Bringing the Conversation to Where the Teens are: Facebook About half of US teens (and growing) use Facebook.* We echo the content that is on the blog here. This post directs people backto our blog. *http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/reports/nielsen_howteensusemedia_june09.pdf
They can like ouritems. These are a few of our friends. They can leave us comments On Facebook the Teens can Talk Back to Us All of our posts show up when they check their “news feed.”
Add Photos to the Conversation These photos are from our Flickr Page
We use Flickr to store our Photos It’s Free Lots of people can have access to all the photos. We can embed them in the blog. We can tag them, and so can our teens. Teens can comment on them. Drawback: ours looks dated because we haven’t kept up with it and the photos are not updated.
