Social networking is a great way for educators to collaborate. I have had a Facebook account for several years so there was not much new to learn. I use it to keep in touch with my family and friend back in my home state of Louisiana. I think that out of Facebook and twitter, Facebook has the most useful features. Until we explored twitter a few things back, I had never considered using it because I think it is rather random, I am a busy person and do care to know who is doing what or when. I think that beyond classroom collaboration with other teachers that social media sites use should be restricted to just that socializing with friends and family that you may be out of touch with. There are too many opportunities for kids to act out and bully their classmates which is a big issue facing kids today.
