Why is it important that educators know how social networking works? Social networking is popular among youth. Social networking can help an educator relate to students and share school and educational information with fellow teachers.
What new insights did you gain about these popular sites? I have been using facebook for years but had not thought of it as an educational resource and am excited to be a friend of the department of education. I am fairly new to twitter and have enjoyed it as a source to follow organizations that are important to me.
What did you like or dislike about each of the sites you explored? Being a long time member of Facebook I have had the opportunity to see it evolve over time. I do not like the new format of Facebook and the amount of commercialization and advertisements that have began to plague the site. Being newer to Twitter I am still getting used to the application. Like Facebook Twitter has same downfalls in that lots of people/organizations will tweet information that is not relevant to me.
Which site had the most useful features? Facebook has more useful features than Twitter. Facebook allows its own page that centers all posts and activities in a more visually stimulating format.
Can you see a classroom or school application for any of these sites? I can see either application being useful to put out information to the masses in a short period of time.
