Why is it important that educators know how social networking works?
What new insights did you gain about these popular sites?
What did you like or dislike about each of the sites you explored?
Which site had the most useful features?
Can you see a classroom or school application for any of these sites?
I have had a facebook for a long time and I had a myspace before that and I hate social media sites and the ONLY reason why I have one is because I was a military brat and I have lived in other places and social media sites are the most practical way I can keep in touch with friends that live far away; because it allows me to keep them up to date with my life without having to be on the phone all day I can just tell everyone at once. Other than that social media sites do nothing but irritate me. They are always having problems, they make the computer run slow, they are always getting virus, etc., basically they just aggravate me.
As for in relation to educators they are useful for connecting teachers together and it gives a great opportunity to provide an outlet for parents to reach you and it gives your school a chance to promote itself. However, I think all teachers should NEVER add students, at least not until they have graduated and they are ADULTS. And I do not think there is any reason why it should be used in a classroom setting at all.
