 * //The Irving School District has sites for Instant Messaging blocked. What is Instant Messaging? Can you find evidence of businesses using Instant Messaging software? Why do they use it? Would using Instant Messaging software add value to your education? Why do you think the district wants students to stay off of this type of tool?//

-"IM" – short for “instant messaging” – is a type of real time communication service.** It is somewhat like email, but much more like a chat room. Both parties are online at the same time, and they "talk" to each other by typing text and sending small pictures in instantaneous time.

-Buisnesses probably use im to contact people and send files in an instant. -Instant messeging is use alot in the consumer market as a communication tool. -I think im would be valuable to our education because for example if your sick and you cant come to school you could send the file from your computer to your teacher or do a presentation throough a webcam.

-I think the district wont allow students use instant messaging because student might be on during school in the midddle of a lesson and because you could use instant messeging to do something bad.
