Dear Kaia

Dear Kaia

A little summary of the assigned viewing/reading: Mr. C's class was commenting on Kaia's blog one day, her dad noticed them. He contacted Mr. C and they started skyping. Mr. C's class made a voicethread video for Kaia because she can't read yet, so she has no way of knowing what their comments were saying. Her dad, Mr. Raisdana, then started thinking of how much exposure to his daughter, he was giving the world. At first her blog started out as a way to share pictures with family members but now it has kind of become a way to record her life events.This concerned him, so much to blog about it and await responses. Here's my response to it all.

I think that it is very cool how we can contact people from all over the world. I do see the risks but I also know you can protect your site by having visitors be approved or blocking someone you aren't comfortable with on your site. I think it's amazing how Kaia's dad saw the activity on her page and was able to track it down, and get in contact with Mr. C and his class. I personally think that Mr. Raisdana is doing a great job as a dad and teacher. He is exposing his daughter to things that open her mind and expand her imagination. He is right to be concerned about her exposure to the internet and the world, but I think if he monitors it efficiently everything will be fine.

She is super cute and seems to be very bright!:)
