Facebook as tool to teach kids to read, write and type

There are a lot of things i can learn from him and about him just from the chat log.

1. He can read, and he can spell words. But some of the spellings are wrong because he tend to spell out according to the pronounciation.

2. I know what he likes, e.g bola kampung, ultraman dyna, and you-tubing.

3. He knows what he wants, and his limit (like when he wants to sleep after he watches bola kampung, and suddenly he feels tired and he wants to sleep like now.)

Now i know that i need to monitor him closely. Facebook can be good, but can be bad too.

What say you
