Thing Fourteen

Social Networking! Huge topic and certainly a timely one for educators to be familiar and comfortable with. I believe that teachers should be able to make use of Facebook. They should just be wise enough to not write anything there that they wouldn't want their students' parents or school officials to overhear in a public place. Simple.
I first joined Facebook to share pictures with family around the country. A nice simple way to share. Since then, I have found friends I graduated from high school with and have enjoyed catching up on their lives. We also use it to keep in touch with some former students from Newington.
My only problem with Facebook, is that it can really, if you let it, take up too much time. I occasionally find myself working on my Farmville farm instead of starting dinner on time. I guess that isn't the worst thing that could happen!
We need to talk to people - we need to see people - we are very social people - so GO FACEBOOK!
