Thing 18


Social networking can be a very good and useful tool, but at the same time they can have negative influences. They can be useful in the classroom if you have a Facebook page for your class and all your students and student’s parents can join and come together. You could remind them of upcoming work that is due and have a very easy way to talk to the parents about any problems that are happening in class. On the other hand, Facebook can get you a lot of trouble. Now days, everyone looks you up on Facebook as soon as they meet you, just to get to know you a little better. Facebook can very easily be the reason you did or didn’t get the job you wanted. In some cases I think this is fare, but in others it’s not. I don’t think Facebook is a very good way to get to know people because there is no way to know if they are being truthful.  Although I do have a Facebook myself, I hardly ever check it any more.
