Visit TeacherPop

The above badge is a link to a social networking site for Teachers and Teacher Canidates at Austin Peay State University. This site is similar to other social networking sites but is based for networking between teachers. I, myself, am a member of sites like Facebook and Twitter as well as TeacherPop. These are the only social networking sites I am a member of but I have come across sites I am interested in like Fuzzster, a site for pet lovers, and Craftster because I love crafting. There are sites for all interests and the use of these sites in a educational way can be a great lesson for integrating technology in the classroom and networking with like-minded people. I believe applying these networking sites can be useful especially applying the sites that fit interests and shying away from the more people oriented social networking sites. Getting students interested in networking with other people having the same interests could open up a number of lessons to use in the classroom.
