Popular Social Networking Sites Useful to Educators

• Facebook - connect to peers, former classmates, and interest groups; see updates from users; share resources and images
• Twitter - 140 characters at a time, instant messages and "micro-blogging" to share your thoughts, article links, and questions with others.  Use your Twitter feed to automatically update your other sites via an RSS feed (what you post in Twitter shows up in your other sites).
• Ning - Create and join social networks based on interests.  Many educational groups already in existance are available for you to join.
