Thing #18

Finally! I get to blog about something that I'm very comfortable with! Social networking is crucial in my opinion. The world is becoming more and more closely knit and sites such as Facebook and Twitter can really help to propel your career. It's helped me to reconnect with old friends, and stay in contact with current teachers. I also believe that you need to be very careful with these sites. These days anything can be screen shot and sent to anyone, anywhere. This is why I'm very watchful over what I post or allow to be posted on my pages. In terms of use in the classroom I feel that Facebook is a more useful site because students can create groups and communicate to each other. With this opportunity though, we need to teach students about how to present themselves in a responsible manner, since many children will not be taught these behaviors at home.
