I facebook. I have an account with friends and pictures. Its so cool that facebook and myspace have linked people in such an accessible way. It is great how it has been made to be so easy and quick! Both of them have very useful features for the social networking site that it is. I think I like facebook better for ease of navigating and using.
It is important that educators know how social networking works because their students will be using it. They could even be using it in class on their phone. The little boy (not so little anymore) I used to babysit is ALWAYS on during school hours, posting and updating. Which makes me think that his friends probably are too! It amazed me to learn how many people are using it! I really like, and obviously LOTS of other people do too, how easy it is to upload pictures onto facebook. Everything about the site seems easy to me. A classroom application would be discussing homework in the evenings. It would be a great place for students to ask each other questions and guide each other through the work when help is needed. Of course, it would have to be "teacher monitored"!
