Dropico.com

This new sight tutorial shows the potential to work between twitter, facebook, and flickr to create an amazing social networking product. I chose Dropico because I can see it being used in the private sector as well as in the classroom environment. My interests lie beyond the classroom. I am thinking of ways to engage seniors in technology to write memoirs and stay connected with their families. Seniors can suffer from loneliness and depression due to shrinking horizons and capabilities. Technology turns the corner and can take seniors down a different path, just as it has done for other digital immigrants. This web site is easy to use and allows many creative applications. The ones I chose included ideas for storytelling with digital photos or photos that have been added to a digital library, a way to write and blog with family members or to use as the platform for writing memoirs and stosries--whether for seniors or kids, or any age in between.
