Skyping with the 5th grade

We are skyping with a local 5th grade and they have asked us to answer some questions.
My questions are:

How can you tell if someone on a blogging site is really who they say they are?
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is not true. Sometimes it is hard to tell if someone is really who they say they are on the blog, but if the person asks for your information from your blog then they probably aren't who they are. Also you can ask your parents to help you figure out if they are true.

How would you use social networking sites with your students?
I would social networking to enhance what we would be learning in the classroom. We would use sites like Portaportal, Edmodo, maybe even Facebook to share our work together. We could even use these sites to show our parents our work and also let them get involved in the classroom.
