I use Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis. Daily basis is an understatement. I am constantly checking on my clubs, work and friends are doing on social networking. It is important for educators to know about social networking sites to keep up with the students and the latest technology. If a student comes to a teacher complaining about cyberbullying, the teacher is going to need to know what that is to help. Teachers also need to make sure not to put anything appropriate for students or administrators to see. It is just important for educators to be up to date on the latest technology. I wrote a research paper on teachers being on social networking sites. My senior English teacher had a facebook and added all her students to help them with assignments and to remind them of homework and tests. It can be a great tool because students, like myself, use it so much.
