Reluctantly or otherwise, Facebook is the place most of us have chosen to share our lives online. In spite of its many useful features, the social media site can be a constant source of annoyance, embarrassment, and trouble if you make a few stupid decisions you might not even realize you're making. Fortunately, with a little effort, you can get Facebook under your control.
From the first week of school, the six-year-olds in my classroom begin to create an online presence in the form of a blog and digital portfolio. We use a blogging platform to do this, and include artifacts that show their progress in writing, reading, math, social studies, and science.

Digital technology is changing every day, so it’s easy to make mistakes with phones and computers
This blog post inspired me to do a similar activity in my own classes.
"Today, I spent a little more time learning about how Pinterest works. I think I’m starting to see the way that it might fit into my personal routine."
When principals hear the words Twitter and Facebook they cringe. Immediately, visions of excessive socialization, time wasted, and meaningless conversations in the form of updates come to mind. This is true, in many cases, when these tools are used for personal use. I am here to share ways in which principals can harness the power of these free resources to improve communications, public relations, professional growth, instruction, and create a brand presence for your school. Quite simply, social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook have improved my effectiveness and efficiency as an educational leader.

Keep that status update to yourself.
That's the advice teachers are being given as the education system grapples with the expanding use of social media by students.
Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation has been conducting workshops with high school teachers in Algoma in recent months after the Ontario College of Teachers issued an advisory that teachers should keep their distance from students when it comes to Facebook, Twitter and other electronic communication.
In a digital age where everyone is tweeting, blogging and messaging, school districts across the country face a conundrum: is it appropriate for teachers to be "friends" with students on Facebook and other social networking sites?
Great web-based client ("front-end") for Twitter and Facebook. I prefer using this website over twitter.com because it automatically displays pictures and videos.
