Thing Eighteen

It is important that educators know how social networking works so that they can have access to different items on helping them in their classroom. I have been a facebook user for a few years and I love it. I am able to stay in contact with my family that live in Germany and with my friends from when I was still in high school. I have several of my teachers from back then as friends on my facebook page. Without them, I would not be where I am today and I consider them a real "friend". I think it would be a great classroom tool or school application.The parents' of the students in the teachers class could join the page to check what homework assignments are and what is going on in the classroom along with looking at photos of what the students are doing.
