Thing 18

This is actually one thing I was familiar with, I have had a Facebook account for a while now. I did not know that the Education department had there own page thought,  and I was pleasantly surprised by the information I found on that particular page, here is a link to my Facebook account:  /http://www.facebook.com/groups/137494276493/ with the group of education. If you would like to take a look at my personal Facebook account, it is under my married name Natasha Powers. (Haven't actually changed the name yet!! It is extremely important to have plenty of resources when you actually start working, and it is always nice having a constant contact with the people that you went to school with. Chances are you will be starting your career around the same time, and you can be a support system for each other. Some of the members of the group have already become teachers and they can be a very valuable resource as well. I do think that social networking is a great resource for teachers, and it could be useful in a classroom setting if carefully monitored. The age group also makes a difference. You aren't really supposed to create a Facebook account until you are 13 for a good reason. I do not believe an elementary student should be able to have unlimited access to social networking, because it can be dangerous.
