Thing #18

Mary Ann Swaney is my name on my Twitter and Facebook, but I have only set up a link to my Facebook. I have had both of these social media's for awhile now. You can find out so much stuff on these sites, and also follow, like, or be friends so many different things. Almost everyone and everything has a Twitter or a Facebook, you will be surprise what you find on there. 

I really think that it is important for teachers to use these social media websites due to that you can read things from people all of the place, and not really know them. Also another thing is keeping in touch with parents on Facebook and Twitter, you also can post almost anything on Facebook. Twitter is a different thing, you can only type so much into one message before they tell you to delete or you have to write to statuses. 

I could see Facebook being the one more people use. I could make a group for my classroom and make it private and invite the parents of my children to it. On there I could post news, whats going on in class, and also post photos from projects we do in class. Many schools actually have groups to keep parents up to date on dates and activities that are happening in the community.
