I was pretty social at 18

Educators and Social Networking
In my opinion, educators need to know how social networking works because of the ways students have figured out how to use them for purposes that hurt others. Bullying is on the increase in schools today, and cyber bullying is increasing due to the availability of websites that promote social networking. Teachers need to realize that even though the bullying might not be happening on the surface in a classroom, it could easily be happening on the World Wide Web where many more people can take part all at once. Educators can benefit from understanding how social networking works, because it is a resource that keeps you in touch with students' parents (NOT THE STUDENTS). It also is a place where teachers can communicate with other teachers or join groups relating to their educational pursuits. Insights
I have used Facebook since around 2009, and I have always enjoyed the simplicity of the site along with being able to write thoughts, post pictures, and see what others are up too. I have never used Twitter, so that is what I signed up for today. I learned that it is an easier way to follow influential or famous people or companies.
Likes and Dislikes
The likes I had for Twitter was like what I said above that it is easier to follow influential or famous people or companies. I liked how the home page or "dashboard" for your twitter page was also simple to use. My dislikes for Twitter was the fact that I had to sign up for another social networking site whenever I am very attached to Facebook. If I had came across it first it might be different, but I probably will not be using very often.
Most Useful Features
The site with the most useful features for me was Facebook, and that is truly only because I am familiar with the website. Facebook offers me ways to send messages, have private chats, post pictures, and tell my thoughts while tagging others. Some of those features can be used on Twitter, but I am Facebook kind of girl ; )
School Application
I can see a school having a group or page that others could follow. The school would be able to post what is going on in the school, certain events coming up, and interacting with other schools. Facebook I believe would be the place that this could be easily achieved (once again I am so biased), and more people use Facebook or have an account compared to Twitter.
