I thought everyone had a either a Facebook or Myspace account, if not both. I mean even my 70 year young Grandmother has a Facebook account. I happen to have both However I haven’t logged into my Facebook in what seems like forever. Anyhow Social networking sites like this are GREAT, being a military wife has moved me away from my family and my childhood friends so I find Facebook a great way to keep in touch.
I also use Facebook to keep in touch with past teachers and to network with fellow Saint Cloud High school alumni and Valenica Community College alumni, I hadn’t added Austin Peay yet so I took this opportunity to add it to my schools, this is my first semester here.
So I think social networking is great and as a teacher I think it’s important to be in the know but it’s important to be aware of your audience. As a teacher you might want to have two accounts one for your personal life and one as an educator. I love the idea of students being able to keep in touch with me and seeing where my students “end up”. Technology can be great!
