Social networking is constantly growing. Nowadays, almost everyone has a Facebook or Twitter to communicate with people all over the world. I think it is important for teachers to be up to date with how social networking works because it is becoming an important form of communication. Being a future middle school teacher I know that I will be faced with many different issues in the school and one of them is bullying. Cyber bullying has taken off and it is a major issue. I believe it is important for teachers to know how social networking works so that if there are any issues between students they can intervene.
I have had a Twitter and Facebook for many years now, so I feel like I know a lot about each network. I personally use Twitter more, but I think that Facebook is more useful when looking to communicate with people from all over. Facebook also has more features than Twitter. I do not see using Twitter or Facebook for school purposes, but maybe there are. I am sure that other teachers use these social networking sites in the classroom.
