Facebook is so cool!

So in education class this week we learn about facebook and blogs. I really didn't want to get a facebook account after hearing about all the controversy with myspace. But I was somewhat forced into it. Now I realize the potential of these social networks in a classroom. You could directly communicate with students online and use their knowledge of technology to benefit the entire class. I could use facebook to keep in direct contact with students. I also could use blogger to allow students to comment on the lessons that I am teaching.
