Thing # 18

Finally after 17 new things I can have a lazy post *grin*. While I still have to blog (wait that's fun for me) I do not have to set up either a facebook of myspace page. Why you ask? Simple I already have both.

You are more than welcome to have a look at my myspace page. Be warned though I have not posted on this site in a very long time. I found that I became disgruntled with myspace. I am not sure if it was all the garish pages or the videos or the music but after a while it was no longer fun to post there.

Facebook is a different story. I log on every day just about and I find that it keeps me coming back. This social networking site has, in my opinion, got it right. I can see what my friends and colleagues are up to and if I am so inclined look at other peoples pages and play little fun games when the mood takes me. Everything that I think keep a person returning. I am not sure if the link will let you in without being my friend but if you are in the mood send me a request and I will gladly add you.

Of the two sites I think there is only one winner when it comes to the education usefulness question and that is facebook. I could see teachers setting up their classes on here and have the students connecting in and interacting through this site. It would give a central repository for assignments (if not using one of the other plethora of options to do so) and similar. It is also a useful means of creating groups to work together.
