I decided to create a FaceBook page as that is where my husband is networked. I added him as a friend and am up and running. I have to admit taking this step made me very uncomfortable. I do not spend large amounts of time on the computer unless I have to and my home time is very private. I am someone who does not talk much on the phone and do not think I will spend much time exploring with this kind of networking. I understand this is the wave of the future and many people spend large amounts of time finding old friends and keeping in touch this way. Many of my students have MySpace and Facebook pages. I am not sure I would want to explore their pages and get that much inside their minds. Again a tool like this one could be used to keep in touch with students but I feel there are other web tools that could be used and be just as effective.
