I have an account with both Facebook and Twitter. I use Facebook often, but never really got into the twitter craze. I opened an account and never really understood it. I like Facebook much better, as you can become members of groups that interest you, and share ideas and information with others in the same group or the same interest as you. Facebook is also great for connecting with family and friends that may live far away.
I feel it is very important for educators to be up to date on social networking sites such as Facebook. It is important as an educator to be current and up to date on the latest technology. Facebook is used frequently by students, and has now even become a place where bullying takes place. It is important to be knowledgeable about these tools. It can even be useful to have a class Facebook group, since most all of the students will have a Facebook account anyway. Facebook is also a great way to keep in touch with other teachers in the district, or maybe teachers that you graduated college with!
