My link to Facebook:
It is important that educators know how social networking works because it is current technology and easy to use. Educators can use this to communicate to other educators or parents. I love Facebook! It is so easy to use and it is so convenient to communicate with other people. I like Facebook over MySpace, but that is just because I just don't like all the blogging your feelings. I find it easier to locate friends and I have a Top Friends list where I can communicate easier with my close friends. Again I'm more partial to Facebook because I have had Facebook for so long and feel more comfortable with the features. I would love to use Facebook in the classroom, but I'm not sure how I could incorporate it into the classroom safely. With social network sites you have to be aware of safety in the classroom. You do not want your students to be opened to predators and I feel like that that would be an issue with having Facebook in the classroom. I think it would be easier to have a Facebook account with parents and colleagues. If parents needed to be in contact with you they could voice their opinion or concerns on your Facebook or MySpace account.
