Thing 18

I started a face-book account, I was uncomfortable, but I did it. I am new to social networking; and I know that people only see what you post; but I don't know if I want my friend, their friends, etc to peek into my life.  I do have several not so close friends who use face-book, so I guess I can keep up with them.  I have family members that also have face-book accounts; but I call them.  I will try to keep up with them.  I think all social networking sites are popular because technology has exploded and infiltrated our daily lives.  It is mostly unregulated; people say what ever pops into their brain.  I guess if you filter it you infringe on freedom of speech.  I think that social networking has it place; at this point how I will incorporate it into my classroom remains to be determined.  It was interesting; I would use the word discernment to describe this process.  I had to discern what to write or not write.
