* My audience for my virtual space for the class would be Candace and my classmates. I use my blog to communicate with my teacher through our assignments and also for my classmate to review as well. My webpage is also for the same reasons. My myspace is for me to keep in touch with friends back at home and communicate with friends and family to see what everyone is up to. My facebook is to keep in touch with friends and people I meet at school and other friends I have at other schools.
* My virtual spaces that I have created in class are specifically for academic reasons and because they were assignments. My personal spaces contain more personal information, but I do not contain information that I wouldn’t want everyone to know. The most personal information I guess would be my pictures.
* I think that teachers should have virtual spaces for the students to record their progress and post assignments for the teacher to review. A teacher could have students free write in blogs as a writing assignment and see what the students have on their minds.
* I consider my myspace pretty private because I know all of my friends. I actually deleted my first myspace a while back because I was friends with people I knew but I didn’t talk to them on myspace anymore. I think my information, for the most part, stays pretty private.
* I don’t think my myspace or facebook has any compromising information, but I do have my myspace set to private. I think that when I am out of school and looking for a job, and especially as a teacher, I will delete my myspace because students and parents could look you up and see personal aspects of your life and maybe not take you as seriously.
* I created my facebook last summer when I transferred to the UofA. I created my first myspace about the time I graduated high school. I guess I would say I have a routine when I get on my computer. I check my facebook, myspace, email, and usually D2L all following each other. I think I probably do this maybe two to three times a day. I usually do not spend too much time on facebook or myspace, but sometimes when I am bored I have been guilty of looking around at people’s pages to see what they are up to. My friend’s and I call it creeping. I guess because it is a little creepy, however most people who have one are guilty of it as well.

That's funny, I never have heard that term before "creeping" but I think that it does describe the action appropriately. I admit I have been guilty of "creeping" while bored as well. I think you are absolutely right, who hasn't.
How many predators are out there "Creeping around" haha. Yeah I'm guilty of creeping sometimes, thats a funny way of putting it. You might not have to erase you myspace when you graduate just clean it up and make it a little more professional, and approve all of your wall posts.
