E-mail was the first tool that brought me to play on the computer. Social networking became the reason I stayed on the computer. First, I had my space page, awesome to look up old friends from the past. I thought it got a little risky of meeting strangers. That is just not my cup of tea. However, I really like facebook. It has linked me with old friends and then keeps going. A great social networking site. I am linked with Texas friends, Misssouri friends and now Tennessee. I can tell everybody what I'm up to one time. I like that. I do not like that I check every body out and my ten minutes on computer has turned into a couple of hours. I don't see these sites being beneficial to students. I like the idea of teachers sharing blogs rather than facebook pages. Getting to know each other works on facebook, other learning tools I just don't see how that would work.

I agree that the sites such as Facebook might have limited application and benefit for students, but the networking and collaborative capabilities for teachers are impressive.
