Thing #18

This one was easy. I have had a MySpace account for a few years now. Here it is. A lot of good and bad can come from these social networking sites. Educators can use these sites to help their students interact with one another, but teachers must be careful with their MySpace or Facebook accounts because being a teacher means being professional. I love social networking sites. I also have an account with Facebook, but I don't use it nearly as often, so I won't link it. I feel that both sites have a lot to offer. Facebook has recently come up with a lot of ways in which people can personalize their pages, and MySpace has recently adopted a lot of the applications previously found only on Facebook. I think Facebook might have a place in the classroom, but I don't really feel that MySpace belongs in the classroom because so many things could go wrong. Imagine if students started getting in trouble because of things posted on their MySpace pages...
