My two social networking sites are listed above this post. Social networking has grown rapidly and is still growing. Every day more people join Twitter and Facebook. Both of these sites have become used not only for personal reasons, but for organizations and business as well. Also, let's not forget about education!! Many schools, classrooms, and teachers now have one or both of these social networking sites. I think it's important that teachers know how social networking works because it gives them a great opportunity to reach out to other teachers. I am a member of both Twitter and Facebook and like them both. I created both of these accounts to use personally, but I now follow educational scholars and sites! Personally, I like twitter more than Facebook. However, on the educational and organizational level, Facebook has more useful features. Since both of these sites are becoming used by business, schools, and organizations, I can definitely see schools or classrooms becoming members of Twitter or Facebook. If we take a look around us it's easy to see....Technology is growing in our society in every way. Let's take advantage of it!!
