I decided to create an account on Facebook. Facebook seemed more user-friendly than MySpace. I also felt it would be much safer than MySpace. I wanted a site that had more security features, since I am a teacher. I don't want my students trying to link to my information. There have been too many horror stories about teachers and students in connection with social networking!! Here is my page. I am still exploring, so it is really plain. I've made friends with my cousin and my best friend, and have sent several requests to other family members and friends.
It is important for teachers to connect with other educators to share ideas and experiences. It is an opportunity to grow as a professional. I can see how these sites can be used this way. I also realized that it would be easier to keep in touch with friends & family using social networking. It is a one-stop place to check on updates from others and share updates. If these sites were even more secure and maybe only used by students, I could definitely see them being used by students to communicate with students at other schools on school-related topics.
