Social Networking

I am still not convinced by Richardson that social networking like facebook or twitter has a place in education. Someone brought up a great point about the impact that social networking can have on teachers. Everyone must be careful what they share online these days, especially on facebook. It is even more important for those in the education field to protect themselves because even the most innocent thing put up on facebook or twitter can have bad consequences. Personally, I am very careful with who I am friends with, what pictures go up, and what I put in status updates. I also have my account protected because I don't want the wrong person to stumble upon something that they may find inappropriate even if I don't see any problems with it.
