Thing #18

Well my experience with Facebook and Twitter was quite easy since I already had an account for both of them. Facebook is a site for everyone to stay connected, play games, write notes or put music up there and just have fun exploring. Twitter is a site that you can keep track of what everyone is doing, and follow famous celebrities and friends. It is important for educators to know how social networking works because it helps them keep track with what is going on around them and even stay in contact with students and other faculty members in an appropriate manner. The new insights that I gained is that I can get news about what is going on in APSU in a faster way. I like how Facebook lets you keep in contact with anyone around the world, but I dislike how Twitter only allows certain amount of characters that you can type, but I like how you can follow and talk to famous celebrities, not that it should matter. Facebook has more useful features, because it allows you to write notes, put music up, play games, chat with friends and create pages for everyone around the world to use. I can see that any classroom or school application would be used on Facebook, because they already have some for APSU. It is very useful for students and teachers, because they can communicate when they can't meet up and get help from other students.
