Okay, we all know by now that I am not the best person to call when in need of tech info...but this class is carrying me kicking and screaming into the big world of cyber space...its scary but I'm managing! Well, I did not have a Facebook account before I started college in 2009 and since I started college the Education Department has terrified me with horror stories about them, so I graciously decided not to create one. I am a very private person anyway. However, I had already created a Twitter account for this class. Thus, I choose Twitter instead of Facebook. I added a lot of websites about authors, books, and English teachers. I actually think I will like following these people and sites. Especially the ones concerning books! I love to read and I am always trying to find the next wonderful one I will read.
I believe that this type of social networking will be highly beneficial to me as a future educator. I want to stay on top of the best books. I want to be up to date on the latest reviews. I definitely want to have the most current way of analyzing and teaching literature! I gained a lot of insight from this assignment and as usual I found that technology is not all that bad. So, yes this will be of much use in my future classroom.

I can understand all the horror stories being a major detraction to maintaining a Facebook and not everyone really needs one. However sites like Facebook and Twitter can really be a help if you want to get the word out.
