Social Networking

Parents and teachers have to keep a close eye on students.  There are a lot of social networking websites out there that can be very dangerous.  They could be a lot of fun for kids but only if they are used safely and with adult supervision.  I dont think its important for teachers to use social networking in the classroom.  There are too many risks.  If students are using these websites inappropriately at school the teacher and the school can get in big trouble for that.  I just dont think its worth it.  There are plenty of other ways that the teachers can incoporate technology into their lessons.  I use facebook and I'm still always very cautious.  You never know what people are doing on all those websites.  I understand that some kids just want to talk with their friends and do all the other fun things the site has to offer but its very important to be safe when doing so.
