MODULE 9

I found this Module really interesting, as I'm guilty of being one of those semi-obsessed people with Facebook, and frequently on some of the other sites.  The idea of using some of the social networking sites in or out of the classroom is a good one.  The 'Second Life' resource looked like it could be used in the classroom, but not in mine.  To me it seems more relevant to Secondary students, who would have good access to technology frequently - and could carry out tasks with more ease.  I understand how Twitter could be effectively used in teaching.  The way in which I have been using it is just for my own interests, I also follow some Teaching sites which I can get new teaching ideas from.  With Facebook, its also possible to share teaching ideas with colleagues - always effective if they are imparting knowledge that is recent.  These social networking sites have a place outside the classroom in my opinion, but can help inform teaching on the inside.
