Chapter 7 talks about using Flickr and Chapter 9 talks about using social networking within a classroom. These two chapters really took my blinds off because we are constantly told to watch what you put on the internet, there are so many things that can go wrong if you put too much information where it is easily accessible. However, chapter 7 shows that putting pictures and videos on Flickr can be really beneficial to the students and their parents as well. It is easy for students and parents to access what they have done and learned that year. This also makes it easier for them to reflect on their year of learning. I would never have thought that facebook could be a way to engage your students deeper into discussion. By having a private group, the students can post a response to a discussion topic and even add pictures or videos (as long as they are appropriate) to support their responses.
As a future teacher, I will definitely think about creating a flickr account for my students and their parents/guardians to keep up to date on what is going on throughout the year. I will also use facebook, or other social networking sites (if appropriate) to enhance discussion topics.
