Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.
What the authors of this blog will contribute:
1) Summarize current state, national, and international research related to topics relevant to current legilative actions.
2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.

Twitter, Facebook, Skype, MySpace—these social-networking sites are critical to the way individuals and businesses communicate now. As of February 2010, 400 million people worldwide were users of Facebook alone. The Cooperative Extension Service provided classes in Hardin County and Boyle County on the history and rapid growth of social media, reaching 52 workshop participants. Participants interacted directly with each social media and even participated in a video conference via Skype. One-hundred percent of the participants who were surveyed at the conclusion stated that they feel the information they received was pertinent and relevant; 47% said that they were now confident that social networking was or was not for them.
