Thing #18

     Until now I didn't have an account with Facebook. My friends asked me from a long time ago, but for me it was enough to send e-mails or make a phone calls. For this class, however, I sign up the first time I've been asked. I always thought that I don't have enough time to socialize through Facebook, but now I see the benefits of it. I cannot deny and avoid something that many people found useful. As a teacher, I need to be aware of new things. I might not use it often, but if my students use it, at least I have to know how to use it too.Nowadays, when everybody have an account there it a faster way to communicate. For the teacher it can be the way to communicate with parents; I think parents would communicate more actively through Facebook than through e-mails. Plus its a good place to share class activity pictures. Facebook is a good communication tool, which gives students an opportunity to collaborate. Social networking can be used for organising  classroom or school activities, or events.
