I can see the opportunities of social networking but must be honest and say that it's not really my thing. I have a lot of friends who have Facebook, but after the initial excitement of setting it up and getting feedback, it seems to have gone by the wayside. I personally don't have the time to religously update Facebook but definitely admire those who can!
I find the whole Twitter phenomenon a waste of time and energy - I don't really care if someone is in a shoe shop and can't decide what colour shoes to buy!
Despite my personal stance I can definitely see why kids are attracted to the whole social networking package. As educators we need to be aware of the positive and negative aspects of these tools and inform our kids accordingly.
A good module.
