Morgan's Twitter Profile

Above, I have put links that will take you to both my facebook and my twitter profile. I think it is very important for educators to know how to use and access social networks. Almost every organization now has a facebook or a twitter or both. It helps with networking. Different people have different opinions about both of the sites. I, personally, like facebook better. I just recently made a twitter, and the main reason I made it was for networking among teachers in special education. Many teachers in special education use twitter to post information and experience that they have while teaching. This helps me to gain knowledge and stay "caught up" in the world of education. I really do like both sites. I like how both have options of keeping things completely private.  I dislike how some people abuse the sites with material that, in my opinion, doesn't need to be on the Internet. I feel that Facebook has the most useful features when it comes to education and educators. Many classrooms already use facebook along with organizations. Just by making this blog post, I became a member of the college of education facebook page. Both sites are very helpful in networking among teachers.
