I recently joined Facebook because of this class. I sent friend requests and joined the APSU College of Education group.
Facebook and Twitter are great tools for social media. Therefore, it's to a teacher's advantage to understand social media and how it works. They provide many different uses such as: keeping up with friends, free advertisement, and sharing of information. Teachers can use this social networking in providing information on upcoming events and their school performance. It also can be a way to post ideas and give feedback for fundraisers or events held at the school. It can also be a tool for checking out a potential applicant for a position at the school.
Teachers who know how to social network will be able to collaborate with educators locally, across the country, or abroad. I never thought about how social networking could possibly be used for advertisement, but things such as: school events, fundraisers, school news, school performance, etc. could all be viewed through social networking.
I like the securities that are available with both sites. Facebook I felt was easier, but you have more options with Twitter I believe. I feel Facebook could be useful in a high school setting rather than elementary due to the risk of giving out to much personal information. In a high school setting, students could collaborate with one another on ideas for assignments. They could give updates on club organizations and their achievements. It is important for teachers to be aware that these media sites can be used in a positive manner, but they can also be used in a negative way as well.

I think there is a fine line of using facebook in the class, but I agree with your points you have brought out!
