Thing #22

Myspace and facebook are completely different. One is defiantly more professional than the other. Myspace is very cute. It reminds me more of a blog. Facebook is a place to network with other people. 

I have such wonderful co-workers. I must be the last one on our campus to get a Facebook. But I got on and those that were online quickly came to my aid. My daughter helped me with a few tricks and I was off and running. 

I like Facebook because I don't have to decorate. Facebook is more interactive.  It seems to be more useful. I like the chatting and I don't have to wait for a response, it's instantaneous.  My daughter whom is 17 likes Myspace better.  I think she likes it more because of the music and the graphics that all the kids like to add.

It's important to know how social networking works because that's what kids are doing. They are networking every chance they get. I don't see that much in first grade but teen and tweens are networking hourly. It's good to be where the kids are so that I know what trends, music and insight into their personal life. Teachers need to be very careful with what they put on their Myspace or Facebook. Students are watching what we are doing and teachers should always be seen as role models.
