I use Facebook. I think most of us do anymore. Click HERE to link to my account. I don't really mind using my real name as its pretty mundane information your likely to see there. I use this site a great deal to keep in touch with friends and family. I see that there is potential for classroom use but I have reservations about inviting co-workers to my private social network. Teachers are in the public eye constantly. No matter where we are we will be representing our school. With so much pressure to never be rude, offensive, or distasteful there needs to be a private haven to be yourself.
I can control me. I can not control my crazy aunt Hazel who is likely to post some obscure off the wall site that will inevitably offend someone I work with. I feel a great need to have a tiny part of my world private and Facebook is where I am drawing a line for now...
