Thing #18, Social Networking.

Well this one was easy, I already had a Facebook and MySpace account. Here is my Facebook account:

I feel it is important to know how to roam through these networks, so that the teacher is able to know a little more about their students and also allow the students to know a little more about the teacher. Of course some very important insight, is to not put anything up on that site that you don't want your students or parents of the students to know. Once it is up on the site, the whole world can see it! I like Facebook the best and they have the best security as well as some real fun applications; like FarmTown, iLike, and other games and media applications. I guess a good classroom activity could be for the students to organize a study group through Facebook. (Parental agreement allowing). Also students could find other students from around the world which is a great idea especially when trying to learn Spanish.
