Social Networking

Before starting this course, my knowledge of social networking was Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. I did not realize all of the different site that were available, or at least did not consider them to be social networking sites. After completing this lab, I now see how I can join a lot of personal and professional communities online to help in all areas of my life. My workflow needs a lot of help. The days of comming home from work and having to find something to do are over. Teaching, MAET classes, wife, three year old daughter, and coaching baseball and football take up most of the day. The tools availble on social networks can help me organize better and not feel so much of a time crunch.

Professionaly speaking, the social networking sites seem to offer some of the best profesional development a teacher can find. If i am struggling with an issue, there is probably a site that can help me.  These site have endless possibilities.

Personally I have been on Facebook for about three years, it has helped me to reconnect with old friends, family members, and collegues. Social networking allows me to connect with people, sports, entertainment and interesting informatin.
