Thing #18


It is important for teachers to understand social networking because it is such a fixed part of our culture and society these days. Everyone is on Facebook or Twitter including the students we will be teaching. Cyber bullying is also an ongoing issue with students today, so teachers need to be able to address that.  Social networking sites can be a great way to communicate with others and share news, information, photos, etc. However, I am not sure of how I would use these sites in my classroom. I suppose I could set up a class Facebook page or Twitter account for easy communication purposes with students and parents, but I don’t think I would use it for anything else because I feel these sites are more for personal use.
