I had a hard time understanding Facebook when I first set up my account, probably because I was so used to MySpace, but it didn't take long for me to get the hang of it. I now like Facebook more than MySpace for many, many reasons! The only thing I really like about MySpace is that you can personalize your profile.
I can't think of any reasons as to why either of these sites should be used in the classroom. I'm planning to teach 2nd grade and doubt any of my students will have an account with either MySpace or Facebook. Although both are a good way to stay in touch with people and also keep up with certain businesses, schools, artists, etc., I don't think either of them should be used as a way to communicate with your students.
I agree, Britt! I don't think I will be using Facebook as something to use in my class, but you know I am always on Facebook..actually, I am right now!haha
