Thing #18 Social Networking

I have had a Facebook account for probably five or six years now and have had a Twitter account for a year or so. I use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends and with pages that I like. I rarely use my Twitter account. I just never really got into it. I think it could be useful to have either a Facebook page for your students to look at that could have assignments listed. This could give students a way to look over directions again or if they were absent have a way to see what was done in class. Parents could also look at this page as a way to keep up with what their students were doing and what is being expected of them. I am not sure that Twitter could be as useful. It could be useful in sending instant updates but I do not know that it could be used to give a large amount of information.

Here is a link to my Twitter,

I have tried to get more into Twitter but have not been able to do it. Maybe it is because I do not follow many people I know and I have never been into to following people I do not know.

Hashtag searing is a bit irritating. They have been over used so it no longer streamlines searching for specific content. You will get some results you are looking for but you also will get a lot of other things.
