Facebook: Something about Putting One’s Money Where One’s Mouth Is

Having maintained a MySpace page for my students for nearly three years at this point, updated a blog on an occasional basis, toyed with twitter, and tinkered with wikis, I’ve been long overdue to join Facebook. My reluctance, primarily, comes from the fact that Facebook still hasn’t tipped with my students. They still rely on MySpace – only one of my former students has been spotted on the site. That being said, it feels way too hypocritical to be spouting off about the values of social networking without actually … you know dabbling in it. I’m already interested in the possibilities of “groups” on Facebook – made one for future class use. Of course, Facebook is blocked by our district, but we’ll find a way to get kids on the site.
