It is important for educators to know social networking sites in that it is a valuable resource, to connecting with other teachers. I love Facebook and I also have a myspace, i enjoy being able to connect with my friends that i have not seen in a while and my family. I don't not think that these websites belong in the classroom. It is for social and children get enough of that. No matter what everyone thinks about it a majority of people have a Facebook (my grandma has a Facebook).
I agree completely with your blog. I think it is very important for teachers to be aware of different social networking websites. Facebook seems to be the most popular now, but I am sure they will come out with another even better. Keeping up with others and even your students through these sites is a great option. Good job Sarah!
