There are so many social networking sites available, it is overwhelming to me to try and keep track of them all. I can see the advantages of using the sites but it is hard to adjust my life around all of this online networking. What was most interesting to me was the fact that people are posting interesting, useful ideas and tool on these social networking sites. It has been very interesting to see what other people have to say on the different sites, such as Twitter and MACUL. I didn’t realize that social networking could contain valuable information. Whenever I use to think of Twitter it always would lead me to believe that some famous person was posting useless information about what they are doing,shows how much I knew. I never thought I would be a part of it. I can see the value in social networking but I think that it is something that I will have to get use to.
In using it in the classroom I can also see how it can be a valuable tool. For the students to be able to basically have an on-line conversations about the topics they are studying about it awesome. It can really enhance their learning when it is used correctly. I can also see how blogging would help the more shy students, maybe they don’t like to talk in front of people, but feel comfortable typing. They now have a voice! I still have a long way to go with social networking, but I am working on it!
