    Just an interesting article that came up when I was researching. Not sure that I would ever use Facebook in the classroom, but for all of you who may be teaching upper grades maybe this is something to consider?

    I am amazed at how these social networking sites can be used in education. It's so challenging to my previously held ideas about what they are good for! I have no doubt that used in the classroom safely and effectively they are great in getting and keeping student's attention.

    Facebook has been "THE" social network to stay away from in the classroom as a teacher. I recall posting back and forth with Angela about this topic as she was one of the first I saw back Facebook in the classroom. While I said everyone teaches us to be weary; just look at all the increadible uses we have for using Facebook in school. 100 Ways You Should Be Using Facebook in Your Classroom is a great resource for those skeptical about incorporating it in the calssroom. I didn't even know you could create 2 Facebook's (probably because I don't even have one) but just create one for class use. Keep it private for just those in the class, and benefit from all the neat options you have to work with this form of technology. From creating polls to providing a platform for students to work and collaborate on projects; this article along with Angela's views on its uses in the classroom - have certainly changed my mind!

      These facts are very interesting and I had no idea that this was the case! These statistics prove that we, as teaching professionals, cannot ignore the impact that social networking has on the kids that we will be teaching. They are going to be using these tools and using them a lot, so we should reach them on their level.

      I'm surprised by the fact of 50% of students talk online about hw. Honestly, I thought it would be less than that.

      Everyone knows my love of Facebook by now. I really think Facebook can be used in so many ways: groups, posting school work as statuses, posting links to websites and articles that can be used and shared, etc.

      Facebook is such a widely used social networking tool, I think you would be very hard-pressed to find someone who does not know how to use it. Kids can be steered in the direction of using it for educational and introspection purposes which they probably didn't consider. I love the idea of creating a page for a book character.

      Andrew, I like Facebook too. And I think that students and adults alike figure out how to use it with ease. I just worry about the over exposure for younger students, for instance the advertisements and so on.

      I think there is a ton of potential for Facebook to be used in the classroom but like Daphne said, could it lead to overexposure or to unwanted sites/people/ideas that are out there? Maybe somehow setting up very private settings would work best for teacher-student collaboration.

      Hard to include Club Penguin as a social networking site. My daughters used it when they were little and were more interested in the game than the limited networking aspect.

    Wiki based on statistics and information supporting use of social networking, and internet use in education. Although a little dated (2006) it's clear to see how things have progressed as expected through today. "Did you know 2.0" is a video worth the time.
