Thing #22

I have never had a social networking account. I was always afraid of joining these type of sites in fear of invasion of privacy and the safety of my family. This was my first time to explore and create an account. I am still not so sure of putting my information on there, so I just put my name and posted a picture of my kids. I never knew so many people were on these networking sites. There are a ton of Mesquite ISD employees on Facebook. I thought this was a great place to post a question or a comment and get responses from many sources. I thought Facebook was a little safer than Myspace. I do think that Myspace has more useful features when it comes to creating your home page. It seems more like the blog page that we created for this class. You may be able to do more with Facebook. I just didn't see any of my friends pages that were done with music, video, etc... This would be helpful to our older students with projects, homework, and assignments if they could get help through networking. I also like it as a parent, you could be a friend of your child's networking site and keep tabs them. :]
