Lesson 4

1.  This may sound odd but- I researched sexting because as a high school teacher, I feel this is a major issue that our schools, communities and judicial system must deal with.  I found over 90 articles listed however, once I narrowed it to scholarly journals only one article remained.  This is most likely due to the current newness of this topic that few research studies have been conducted completely and then are fully through the publication process.  I really liked the tabs across the top which allow you to simply sort between magazines, newspapers, etc.  for the type of resource needed.  The articles are very current and provide great information about this current issue.  I have had students use ProQuest some in the past however, I am going to require it much more often.  We need kids using scholarly information and this an excellent resource for them to start good researching habits. 
2.  I checked close to 10 other blogs from our cohorts involved in this challenge.  I was relieved to find out I'm not the only one who was a little behind on all of this.  Thankfully, today is a snow day for me so I'm able to catch up on this.  I tried to comment on BookBlogr's site however, blogger won't recognize my email and won't let me comment annonomously.  So, sorry about that but hope this works in place of that. 
3.  For the publications tab... I scrolled through to find the Journal of Comparative Family Studies.  I teach a class I like to call Family Sociology and feel that this journal would offer great text for this class.  The article I read was full article including many statistics and comparison between family statistics throughout this past century.  I find this information fascinating and could definitely use this for course content.  These type of articles make for great discussions about the degree of which families really have or haven't changed.  I back up all information with statistics so this would be very valuable.  I'll be using this more!
