  2. Facebook.com • Personal: Great for sharing photos and keeping in touch with a lot of friends at once • Professional: Keep it separate from personal • Classroom: They’re on FaceBook; make use of it

  3. Facebook.com • You need to register and approve those who can view your information. • You can become a fan of various sites • There’s a lot of information on FaceBook you can get an account, post nothing personal, and access relevant public information from your account. • For example, check out MAA’s site

  4. Twitter.com • Personal: With 140 characters maximum it has a very specific purpose • Professional: Good way to share/find relevant websites and posted materials • Classroom: Can efficiently connect with a whole class at once – class cancelled or error on assignment

  5. Twitter.com • You can access public information on Twitter without registering but to follow individuals and be followed you need to register and create an account. • You can prevent folks from following you but it’s after-the-fact. • Twitter provides a way to participate in conference activities without actually attending a conference.

  6. YouTube.com • Personal: For enjoyment, entertainment, or sharing • Professional: Lectures, interviews or items in the news in your field • Classroom: Have students find and share videos relevant to the course – post links in a discussion in your course site for example. Post links for them to watch. • Many folks post their entire course on YouTube so there’s a wealth of information to be viewed.

  7. Delicious • Bookmarking site • Your favorites migrate from computer to computer with you • Works well with Twitter • Easy to categorize sites • Individual bookmarks can be shared or not

  8. Google • Use Google for more than a search engine • Create a Google account (iGoogle) • Use Google Groups instead of mailing lists • Use Google Docs for shared files

  9. Social Networking Suggestions • Do not befriend students; if using these sites for student activities create a new profile • Use a common profile presence; the same photo and username for each site • 15 to 20 minutes a day can change your world!
